Currency Grip

The Indian rupee’s recent behaviour, hovering just shy of 84 a dollar, has been a focal point of discussion in financial circles. On Tuesday, the currency closed at 83.97, marginally above its previous alltime low of 83.9725, thanks to the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) timely intervention.
