THE RUPEE LOST more value on Friday, tumbling to a new low of 85.54 against the dollar. In a thinly-traded market, the local currency gave up 28 paise. the sharpest daily fall since June.
Intra-session, the rupee plummeted by a steep 55 paise before recovering after what dealers said was intervention by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). With this, the rupee has depreciated by about 3% in 2024 so far, with much of the fall coming since end-September.
Nonetheless, it continues to outperform Asian peers, thanks to the RBI stepping in. In October, the central bank net sold $9.28 billion in the spot market. The dollar has put on 7% since the US Fed's September rate cut.

Dr Manmohan Singh, RIP
The present generation (born after 1991) scarcely believes that there was an India with one television channel, one car, one airline, one telephone service provider, trunk calls, PCO/STD/ISD booths and long waiting lists for everything from two-wheelers to train tickets to passports. The seeds of change were sowed by Dr Singh, a fact belatedly acknowledged by Prime Minister Modi's tribute to him and the Cabinet resolution.
