Trends & Dynamics: What Is Influencing the Rates?
Currency rates are never static, as they respond to macroeconomic factors, monetary policy, trade flows, and investor sentiment around the globe. The rupee’s recent weakness to the dollar is a function of capital outflows, import demand, and the strength of U.S. rates. Interventions by the Reserve Bank of India are intended to mitigate volatility. More locally, regional currencies like BDT and PKR often reflect local factors (trade balance, remittances, monetary policy) as well. RUB is driven by energy exports, sanctions, and Russia’s macro stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do the different providers show different rates?
The mid-market rate (as presented above) is a base rate. The actual bank, or foreign exchange, rates include spreads, commission, margins, and time differences, so you will usually receive a slightly worse rate.
How often do these rates change?
Currency rates are continuously shifting (every second in active markets). Retail rates will shift more daily, or even more than hourly, depending on the provider’s policies, liquidity, and demand.
Which rate should I rely on as the safe rate for remittances or trade?
Use the rate quoted by a trustworthy, reliable bank, money transfer service, or licensed foreign exchange provider at the time you are considering conducting the transaction. Follow up and check for any hidden fees.
Is there a possibility I can “lock in” a rate before it goes to a transaction?
Yes, some foreign exchange providers offer forward contracts and/or rate-lock services that allow you to fix the rate for a transactional opportunity in the future.
Why is the rupee weaker vs USD but stronger vs PKR?
Currency strength is relative to the specific local fundamentals. The rupee may be weakening due, in part, to external pressure (e.g., dollar strengthening, demand for imports), as a rupee will not necessarily mean the rupee weakening vs. regional currencies if the local currencies are under greater duress; Strength is relative.
