- Most affected
- Indian exporters — Goods priced in rupees become marginally more expensive to foreign buyers.
Indian importers — Foreign goods priced in dollars cost marginally less to purchase. - Watch next
- Whether the rupee sustains above 95.43 or reverses as foreign outflows and oil prices reassert pressure.
