The Indian rupee closed at a record low of 77.71 per US dollar on May 31, 2022, down 17 paise, as surging US Treasury yields reduced appetite for riskier assets. Domestic equity losses, high crude prices and forex outflows also weighed on the currency.
The rupee was on course for a fifth straight monthly decline.
