The indian rupee has seen an unprecedented decline in value against the US dollar. One dollar has fallen to 85.08 rupees.

Later, it fell to 85.08 at the end of trading. The US Federal Reserve, the central bank, cut the lending rate by a quarter of a percentage point. As a result, international investors turned their attention to the US dollar. As a result, the dollar rose; at the same time, the rupee also fell to a new high.
Furthermore, the dollar's continued strengthening against international currencies is increasing the depreciation of the rupee. The US Federal Reserve's announcement of a rate cut had a knock-on effect not only on the rupee but also on the indian stock markets. As many investors, including foreign investors, sold shares in large quantities, the Sensex fell by more than 1,000 points and the Nifty by 300 points in early trade. Later, they recovered slightly and closed the trade.
