India rupee falls to fortnightly low on Fed’s hawkish jolt, outflows

The Indian rupee weakened significantly on Thursday, reaching its lowest point in two weeks. This decline was driven by increased dollar demand and a hawkish stance from the U.S. Federal Reserve. Traders noted that the Reserve Bank of India intervened to limit losses but not aggressively. Asian currencies also saw a downturn. U.S. Treasury yields climbed higher.
