Rupee battered against dollar
The rupee opened at 78.13 against the dollar in the interbank currency exchange market. But due to heavy selling of investors in the afternoon, it went down to Rs 78.40. If there was no weakness in the international market in crude oil prices, then the rupee could have fallen further. Due to the selling of foreign investors, the Sensex 709 in the Indian stock market and the Nifty closed with a fall of 225 points.

Why did the rupee fall?
Since the war between Russia and Ukraine, the rupee has been depreciating against the dollar continuously. The rupee has fallen to its all-time low of Rs 78.40 against the dollar as foreign investors withdrew their investments due to global volatility. Let us tell you that before the war started on February 23, 2022, the rupee was at Rs 74.62 against the dollar, which has fallen to Rs 78.40 on June 22, 2022. Actually, it is being feared that the US Federal Reserve may increase the interest rate further. Foreign investors have so far withdrawn more than Rs 2 lakh crore investment in Indian markets.
