Rupee falls to record low on Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs on Brics
The rupee hit a record low of 84.73 against the dollar, driven by strong dollar demand and Trump’s tariff threats to BRICS nations. Weaker-than-expected Q2 growth and global factors compounded the decline. RBI intervention limited further losses, but analysts predict continued pressure with potential geopolitical tensions impacting the rupee’s value.
