The Indian rupee ended Tuesday in the negative territory as it depreciated 12 paise to close at 86.82 (provisional) against the US dollar. Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan, explained, "The lingering trade deal between India and the US may continue to weigh on the rupee. Rising crude oil prices and foreign outflows may also pressurise the rupee. FIIs have offloaded stocks worth nearly Rs 37,000 crore till date, the biggest selling since February 2025."
