The Indian rupee fell 39 paise to an all-time low of 95.23 against the US dollar, influenced by ongoing Middle East tensions and high oil prices.

Meanwhile, the domestic equity market saw gains, with Sensex rising 355.90 points and Nifty climbing 121.75 points.

The Indian rupee has fallen to its lowest level in over a decade, driven by rising crude oil prices and significant foreign portfolio outflows. The Reserve Bank of India's real effective exchange rate (REER) dropped to 92.72, indicating the currency is undervalued compared to its long-term average of 98.25. Key factors include increased oil import costs, heavy foreign investment withdrawals, subdued inflation, and a sharp depreciation trend since late 2024. Despite appearing undervalued, analysts predict limited recovery due to persistent dollar demand and global uncertainties.
