Globally, sentiment in the market was impacted heavily after Trump levied fresh tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico.
Forex traders observed, “The Indian rupee touched a fresh all-time low on a surge in the US Dollar index and weak global markets after Trump Tariffs on Canada Mexico, and China triggered fears of a broad trade war.”
Notably, the US President imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and levied 10 per cent duty on Chinese goods, effective February 4. The Indian rupee opened on a muted note at 87 at the interbank foreign exchange and hit an intra-day low of 87.29 against its American counterpart.
One of the Research Analyst explained, “We expect the rupee to trade with negative bias on strong US Dollar and FII outflows amid a weak trend in the domestic markets. Traders may take cues from ISM manufacturing PMI data from the US. Investors may remain cautious ahead of the RBI’s monetary policy meeting this week.”
The dollar index traded 1.01 per cent higher at 109.46. The index helps understand the dollar’s strength against a basket of six currencies. The global oil benchmark, Brent crude, climbed over 1 per cent to hit $76.74 per barrel in futures trade.
