Rupee weakens to lifetime low hurt by merchant dollar bids, weak equities
Live MintBy Jaspreet Kalra MUMBAI, Dec 18 - The Indian rupee hit its all-time low on Wednesday, pressured by strong dollar demand from importers and likely outflows from local equities, while intervention by the Reserve Bank of India curbed losses, traders said. Weakness in regional currencies ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy decision due in U.S. trading hours also hurt the rupee alongside speculative dollar bids amid a lingering bearish bias on the local unit. Worries over India's growth outlook have kept the rupee under pressure, alongside a well-supported dollar following Donald Trump's election victory. The central bank has complemented spot market intervention with dollar-rupee buy/sell swaps in recent sessions, likely intended to prevent the impact of spot dollar sales on headline foreign exchange reserves and INR liquidity, traders said.
