Rupee hits two-month low on outflows, investors await RBI outcome with hike priced in

The Indian rupee fell to its lowest point in over two months due to equity outflows. Traders are focusing on the Reserve Bank of India’s upcoming monetary policy decision. Analysts expect a 25 basis point hike, which could strengthen the rupee. Dollar sales from state-run banks have limited the currency's decline amidst persistent short positions. Future comments from policymakers will be closely monitored for indications on benchmark rates.
