Indian Rupee hits new low: 10-month decline continues, economic recovery faces pressure

【Crypto World】The Indian Rupee has fallen again. The latest exchange rate dropped to 91.01 against the US dollar, hitting a new historic low. This decline has been ongoing for a full 10 months, with no signs of stopping. Not only has it dragged down the Sensex index, which fell nearly 450 points in a single day.

The data is even worse: since the beginning of this year, the rupee has depreciated by 6.80%. Looking back over the past five years, the cumulative decline is even more outrageous—20%. Market analysts are now ringing alarm bells and generally adopting a bearish outlook for the future. Their consensus is clear: if the rupee continues to weaken, the economic recovery will definitely be affected, import costs will rise, and foreign exchange pressures will keep accumulating. The most pessimistic prediction is that the rupee could fall below the 100 mark against the dollar.

Once import costs rise, imported inflation will follow, which is clearly not a good sign for the pace of India’s economic recovery.

If the Indian Rupee continues to fall like this, I'm really worried... A 20% decline over five years is quite harsh. If the Rupee breaks below 100, it will be really troublesome. Imported inflation will make the economy breathe harder. This wave feels a bit like some emerging markets last year; once import costs rise, everything is over. Sensex has been dragged down too; India needs to think of a solution. It’s been falling for so long without stopping; they need to act quickly, or it will really collapse.

If the rupee continues to fall like this, how difficult will it be for the Indian economy? As import costs rise, imported inflation kicks in, creating a vicious cycle. --- Is the 100 mark really unbreakable? It feels like India’s current situation is quite precarious. --- A 20% drop over five years is hard to watch. It seems India isn’t the only country experiencing this. --- Sensex has been dragged down too, indicating that overall market sentiment isn’t very good. --- Imported inflation hits the consumer side as soon as it arrives. The rupee’s weakness is truly unfixable. --- A ten-month continuous decline? That’s incredibly despairing. What is the central bank doing? --- Rising import costs push domestic prices higher, and ordinary people are the ones suffering the most.

Oh no, if only I had stocked up more on USD back then... Watching the rupee keep falling like this, those who exchanged currency early are probably laughing their heads off. India's economic recovery path seems to be taking a long detour; with imported inflation coming, no one will have an easy time. Breaking 100 is really no longer a dream. I'm just waiting to see if it will come true.
