Rupee weakens to record low as geopolitical tensions escalate. The Indian rupee hit 93.71 against the dollar Friday, down nearly three percent since Iran conflict began and eight point seven percent this fiscal year. Traders anticipate testing the 94-95 zone within weeks if crude oil remains elevated above one hundred dollars per barrel. President Trump's ultimatum to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz has intensified market volatility and energy supply concerns. Reserve Bank intervention could stabilize the currency, but escalation risks could push the rupee further weaker. Market experts emphasize that currency trajectory depends heavily on crude prices and geopolitical developments, making firm predictions difficult in this volatile environment.
