Indian rupee is facing significant downward pressure, edging closer to an all-time low against the US dollar.

Rupee is expected to open weaker, potentially reaching a historic low of near 84/USD, driven primarily by dollar demand in the non-deliverable forward (NDF) market

The 1-month dollar/rupee NDF rate surged to 84.25 overnight, reflecting concerns over the unwinding of the Japanese yen carry trade. 

While RBI interventions have provided some support, the rupee remains under pressure due to broader global economic conditions.
