Rupee drops past 87/USD as Trump tariffs rattle Asian currencies

MUMBAI (Reuters) – The Indian rupee weakened past 87 per U.S. dollar for the first time on Monday, as Asian currencies slumped after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on the country’s largest trading partners, driving a surge in the U.S. dollar.

The rupee dropped 0.5% to a low of 87.07 in early trade, with traders expecting the currency to face further losses throughout the day.

Trump, in three executive orders in the weekend, imposed 25% tariffs on ******** and most ********* imports, and 10% on goods from China, starting on Tuesday.

The dollar index was up 0.3% at 109.8, while Asian currencies weakened, with the offshore ******** yuan – a closely watched counterpart of the rupee – down 0.5% at 7.35 per U.S. dollar.
