Indiska rupien försvagas ytterligare till 92.42 mot US-dollar i samband med oljepriser och spänningar i Västasien

Indiska rupien fortsatte sin deprecieringstrend sedan den passerade 90 i slutet av 2025 och föll 14 paisa till 92.42 mot US-dollarn i tidig handel på tisdagen den 17 mars 2026. Stigande råoljepriser, utflöden av utländskt kapital kopplat till krisen i Västasien, dämpade inhemska börser och en starkare dollar pressade valutan, medan handlare väntade på US Federal Reserves räntbeslut.

Rupien öppnade svagare på 92.42 efter att ha deprecierats 14 paisa den 17 mars 2026, vilket speglar ihållande tryck från höga råoljepriser och utflöden från utländska investerare i takt med eskalerande spänningar i Västasien. De inhemska aktiemarknaderna förblev dämpade, medan den stärkta US-dollarn tillade till nedgången. Marknadsaktörer intog en försiktig hållning inför Federal Reserves räntbeslut, som kan påverka globala valutor. Denna utveckling understryker rupiens fortsatta sårbarhet för externa faktorer som råvarupriser, geopolitik och US penningpolitik – en fortsättning på dess glidning förbi 90 i december 2025.
