The Indian Rupee (INR) closed marginally lower at 88.63 against the US Dollar on November 12, 2025, reflecting a slight dip of 0.1% from the previous close of 88.5675. The slip comes amid mixed global cues, forex market dynamics, and domestic economic factors influencing currency movement.
The Indian Rupee closed at 88.63 per US Dollar, a slight decrease of 0.1% from its last close of 88.5675 on November 11, 2025. This minor downward movement in the INR reflects cautious market sentiment influenced by a combination of external and domestic factors. Despite nearing this level, the rupee did not breach the 88.64 mark, as earlier indicated in some data points.
Globally, the US Dollar has shown buoyancy amid steady economic data and safe-haven demand, putting pressure on emerging market currencies including the INR. Moreover, ongoing trade talks and geopolitical developments continue to keep volatility alive across currency markets.
Domestically, the Reserve Bank of India’s interventions, trade deficit concerns, and oil price fluctuations play a critical role in INR valuations. Investor caution ahead of upcoming macroeconomic data releases also dampens rupee strength today.
