Indian rupee slips below 95 per US dollar, marking its steepest annual decline in more than ten years
Indian Rupee Hits Historic Low Amid Turbulent Trading
On Monday, the Indian rupee plunged to its lowest value ever during a session marked by significant volatility, capping off a challenging fiscal year. The currency faced mounting pressure from trade disputes, global political tensions, and adverse capital movements, all of which contributed to its decline. Although the central bank unexpectedly imposed limits on foreign exchange positions, providing temporary support for the rupee, this move also forced traders to quickly close out arbitrage trades, resulting in losses for many.
The rupee began the day strong, reaching a one-week peak at 93.59 per US dollar, but soon reversed course, dropping to a low of 95.21. Possible intervention by the central bank helped stabilize the currency by the session’s close.

This time, will U.S. Treasury bonds crash U.S. stocks?
Bloomberg strategist Simon White warns that the recent rise in US Treasury yields is shifting from a "benign" increase driven by interest rate expectations to a disorderly surge fueled by expanding term premium. Market analysts note that higher long-term interest rates will simultaneously push up US stock valuation discount rates and corporate financing costs, intensifying liquidation pressure on highly leveraged assets. If interest rates above 5% become the new norm, US stock valuations will face ongoing compression pressure.
