The Indian rupee fell 58 paise to a record closing low of 86.62 per dollar on January 13, its steepest single-day fall in nearly two years. The decline was attributed to a stronger U.S. currency, surging crude oil prices and large foreign capital withdrawals.
A steep rupee depreciation raises the cost of dollar-priced feed and energy imports for India. It also signals dollar strength that tends to pressure dollar-denominated commodity prices.
