Dollar Index Down by 0.03% Today 

The dollar index (DXY) is down by 0.03% by this time today. This means that dollar depreciated against other major currencies of its trading partners in early trade today. The Indian rupee is among the worst performing currencies against the dollar in the past 1 year. It has depreciated by around 4.97% against the dollar in the past 1 year. RBI had to intervene in the foreign exchange market many times, in the past 1 year, to prevent further depreciation in rupee. Depreciation in rupee against the dollar makes India’s exports cheaper but imports dearer. This puts upward pressure on inflation.
