Rupee Hits Record Low of 91.70 on FPI Sell-off, Yen Carry Unwind, and US-Greenland Dispute
Rupee Hits Record Low
The Indian rupee has plummeted to a **record low** against the dollar, driven by a sharp increase in global risk aversion. Market sentiment is deteriorating as investors flee risk assets.
A primary driver of this volatility is the unwinding of the **Yen carry trade**. Rising yields in Japan are squeezing global liquidity, forcing a rapid exit from emerging market positions. Consequently, foreign outflows are accelerating.
Domestic markets are under significant pressure, with heavy selling reported across both **local stocks and bonds**.
Notably, the **Reserve Bank of India** remained on the sidelines. The central bank's absence from the market allowed the currency’s losses to deepen unchecked amid the broader sell-off.
