The rupee fell to its record low of 86.62 to the dollar on Monday, which was also its steepest single-day fall in close to two years. The decline is driven by multiple global factors.

“This sharp depreciation, down 2.3% since December, is attributed to several global factors. Stronger-than-expected US job data triggered a surge in US bond yields and the dollar index, with the latter breaching the psychological barrier of 110. This has resulted in increased demand for the dollar,” Swapnil Aggarwal, Director, VSRK Capital, said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
