₹ vs US$
With the rupee hitting fresh lows against the US dollar on account of rising US yields and geopolitical tensions, one unintended consequence is the impact it has on the common man. The most direct and visible impact that a common man sees is the rise in petrol and diesel prices, which in turn would push up inflation. Crude came under pressure after OPEC cut its forecast of global demand growth for oil next year for a third straight month, citing headwinds facing the broader economy from trade disputes and volatile emerging markets. On the domestic front, data released by CSO showed India’s inflation in September rose to 3.77% compared from 3.69% in the previous month.
