The Indian rupee plunged to a fresh record low as a break below the 92.50 level sparked a sharp sell-off, exacerbated by thin dollar liquidity ahead of the bank holiday. Despite a backdrop of strong risk appetite and softer crude prices, the currency faced aggressive importer dollar demand.
With geopolitical tensions stoking fears of a wider trade deficit, year-end demand remains robust. We see USDINR facing resistance at 92.85, with support at 92.40.
