The Indian Rupee has reached a record low, trading at 84.19 against a single United States Dollar. This decline occurred just 24 hours after the conclusion of the historic 2024 US elections. Donald J. Trump of the Republican Party emerged victorious, defeating the incumbent Vice President, Kamala Harris.

The implications of this result have been significant both politically and economically. US markets surged in pre-market trading and continued to rise during the regular session.

In addition to the equity markets, the US currency, the US Dollar, rose in value, breaking recent records in the process. The ripple effect of strengthening the dollar naturally has an impact on other weaker currencies, including the Indian Rupee.
