The Indian rupee fell to a record low of Rs 92.17 against the US dollar on Wednesday as global tensions shook financial markets. Rising conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran increased uncertainty among investors. Crude oil prices also jumped on fears of supply disruptions in the Middle East. India imports about 85% of its crude oil, so higher prices put pressure on the economy and the rupee. A stronger US dollar added to the fall as investors moved money to safer assets. Stock markets across Asia also declined. Experts say the rupee’s movement will depend on oil prices and developments in the Middle East.
