Indian rupee may hit new low as dollar rally, tariffs, outflows threaten currency
The Indian rupee is facing fresh pressure, hovering around Rs87.55 - Rs87.66 per US dollar, as a resurgent dollar index, hefty new tariffs on Indian exports to the US, and continued foreign money outflows weigh on the currency's outlook. According to market data, one US dollar now fetches approximately Rs87.55 to Rs87.66 in onshore trading, with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stepping in frequently to stem volatility. Against the UAE dirham, the rupee trades at around Rs23.80 per Dh1—reflecting modest weakening, with one rupee equivalent to just 0.0419 dirham. Over the past five years, the rupee has depreciated steadily — from approximately Rs74 per dollar in mid-2020, to breaking past Rs79 by 2022 amid surging crude and US rate hikes, and edging close to Rs83 in 2024 amid global recession fears. This year's slide to the 87-plus mark represents a cumulative decline of more than 13 per cent. The immediate pressure stems from a strong recovery in the US dollar, driven by safe-haven demand and expectations of further US Federal Reserve rate cuts, which are increasing demand for greenbacks and weighing on emerging market currencies like the rupee. Compounding this is the Trump administration's decision to impose 25 per cent tariffs and another 25 per cent of punitive tariffs on a wide range of Indian exports — textiles, gems, leather and chemicals — which is eroding export competitiveness and rattling investor confidence. The rupee marked its worst six-week losing streak in half a year as a result. Foreign investors have pulled more than $4-$10 billion from Indian equities and debt this year, while the RBI has spent over $9 billion to defend the currency through spot and non-deliverable forward (NDF) market interventions. 'Tariffs of this magnitude are not just a trade story — they are a currency story,' warns Vivek Mittal, head of Asia currency strategy at First Global Research. While India's growth fundamentals remain relatively strong — with GDP growth above six per cent and forex reserves exceeding $650 billion —experts caution that the rupee will remain sensitive to global monetary policies and capital flows. Priya Nair, senior economist at Axis Capital, notes: 'Even with robust domestic growth, if external factors like US tariffs, stronger dollar trends…come into play, the rupee will adjust to reflect those risks.' Non-deliverable forward (NDF) markets suggest a modest pull-back, with the rupee expected to open in the Rs87.52–Rs87.56 range — slightly firmer than recent trading — as RBI interventions temper expectations. However, structural risks remain intact. Unless the administration softens its tariff stance or US inflation surprises to the downside prompting dovish Fed moves, the rupee is unlikely to regain strength. 'From day to day, we learn more about new rules that could dramatically change the landscape,' said Darwei Kung, head of commodities at DWS Group. Forward indicators signal continued volatility: one-month implied volatility in USD/INR is nearing its annual peak, and option markets show rising demand for protection against a slide toward Rs85. The rupee remains in a vulnerable zone, with limited upside in the near term absent relief on tariffs or global dollar trends. Structural pressures from external shocks may keep the currency under pressure, with key support levels being tested and sentiment remaining fragile.

UAE authority seizes over 17.6 million of illegal goods in first half of 2025
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) seized more than 17.6 million non-compliant excise goods — including tobacco products, soft drinks, energy drinks, and sweetened beverages — during record nationwide inspections in the first half of 2025. The 85,500 field visits carried out between January and June marked a 110.7 per cent jump from the same period last year, bringing in Dh357.22 million in taxes and fines — up 86.29 per cent from Dh191.75 million in 2024. The campaigns were conducted in cooperation with local authorities. Among the seizures were 11.52 million packs of tobacco without Digital Tax Stamps and not registered in the FTA's electronic system, more than double last year's 5.52 million packs. Introduced in 2019, the stamp system allows each pack to be tracked from production or import through to sale, ensuring excise tax is paid and curbing smuggling and counterfeiting. Inspectors also confiscated 6.1 million bottles and cans of non-compliant beverages — more than 3.5 times the 1.74 million seized in the first half of 2024. Under UAE excise tax law, carbonated drinks, energy drinks, and sweetened beverages are taxed to reduce consumption of unhealthy products. From 2026, sugar-sweetened beverages will be taxed according to sugar content, replacing the current flat rate. Sara AlHabshi, Executive Director of Tax Compliance at the FTA, said the authority's use of advanced digital monitoring tools has strengthened market oversight and improved enforcement efficiency. 'These technologies are critical in identifying and removing smuggled goods that fail to meet UAE tax requirements,' she said, adding that inspections will continue nationwide to protect consumers and ensure businesses comply with tax laws.
