Indian rupee records steepest weekly decline in a month as it nears 91 mark against dollar

The Indian rupee fell to 90.98 on Friday amid geopolitical tensions and portfolio outflows. Central bank intervention helped stabilize the currency today.

The Indian ININ rupee closed at 90.9825 per United States USUS dollar on Friday, marking its steepest weekly fall in a month. This decline was driven by likely portfolio outflows and lingering geopolitical tensions that increased demand for the dollar. Despite the pressure, the central bank intervened by supplying dollars in the market, which limited further depreciation and kept the currency just above the psychologically important 91-per-dollar level.
