Markets showing no sign of nervousness amid weak rupee: BofA

The one-month implied volatility being priced by the foreign exchange options market has been below 2% for six months now, much lower than 3.5% a year ago, he said. On Friday, the rupee ended trade at an all-time low of 83.73/$1, having depreciated around 0.1% versus the US currency for the week, LSEG data showed. The weakness in the rupee has been driven by sharp volatility in the Chinese yuan, as well as foreign outflows from stock markets, which turned choppy after the government raised capital gains taxes on equities in the budget for FY25.
