The currency of India faced significant downward pressure in the non-deliverable forward (NDF) market on Thursday, signaling a potential slide past the 93 mark against the dollar. This decline follows a series of attacks on critical energy facilities in the Gulf, which has heightened economic risks for major energy-importing nations. The 1-month USD/INR NDF was recently quoted at approximately 93.70, suggesting the rupee will reach a new lifetime low when onshore spot trading resumes on Friday.
