NEW DELHI, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- The Indian rupee Wednesday recorded a record low as it hit 91.73 against the U.S. dollar.
The rupee depreciated 76 paise to an all-time low of 91.73 against dollar in early trade, weighed down by steady dollar demand and a cautious global mood.
The rupee recorded its previous all-time low of 91.14 on Dec. 16, 2025, and so far this month, the local unit has fallen by 1.50 percent.
According to forex traders, rising geopolitical uncertainty, including renewed U.S. expansionary signals, has increased risk aversion and kept emerging market currencies under pressure. Besides this, a sluggish domestic stock market triggered by an exodus of foreign capital dented investors' sentiment further. ■
