The Indian Rupee hit a historic low today, largely owing to the US Dollar's rally and expected outflows from domestic equities. The INR fell to an all-time low of 84.4125 against USD before settling at 84.3925, the same as its closing number in the previous session. This is the fifth straight session that the currency has hit record lows.
