Three reasons for the fall of rupee
- The dollar rose due to the results of the presidential elections in America.

- The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates later this week.
- American market Dow Jones rose by 1300 points or more than 3%.

Importing will be expensive Fall in rupee means that import of goods is going to become expensive for India. Apart from this, traveling and studying abroad has also become expensive. Suppose, when the value of rupee was 50 against the dollar, Indian students in America could get 1 dollar for 50 rupees. Now for 1 dollar students will have to spend 84.23 rupees. Due to this, everything from fees to accommodation, food and other things will become expensive.
How is the value of currency determined? If the value of any other currency decreases in comparison to the dollar, it is called falling, breaking, weakening of the currency. Currency Depreciation in English. Every country has foreign currency reserves with which it conducts international transactions. The effect of increase and decrease in foreign reserves is visible on the price of currency.
If the dollars in India's foreign reserves are equal to the US rupee reserves, then the value of the rupee will remain stable. If our dollar decreases, the rupee will weaken; if it increases, the rupee will strengthen. This is called floating rate system.
