This reaction comes as traders assess the implications of a fresh U.S.-E.U. trade agreement, according to reports. The one-month non-deliverable forward indicated the rupee would likely debut in the 86.75-86.77 range against the U.S. dollar, a shift from the previous session’s 86.6650.
As Asian currencies mostly experienced minor declines today, regional equities also felt the weight of this dollar strength, showcasing a broader trend of market caution.
