I'm probably the last person to complain about exchange rates because I get that there are countless factors at play. No country can completely control its currency value, and there's no magic formula for the 'right' rate.

Especially in places with capital controls or heavy central bank intervention, it gets even tougher to explain why a certain rate exists. People also forget that nations like Japan and South Korea have had relatively weak currencies against the USD for long stretches, yet they're still highly developed. So a weaker rate doesn't automatically mean a weak economy. In many cases it balances out through wages, exports, purchasing power, and domestic pricing.

But when a currency starts moving too aggressively or unpredictably, it does hurt investor confidence. Stability matters for foreign investment.

A 0.5% move in a day isn't something to ignore. Anyone who has traded forex knows the market usually moves in tiny increments. That's why leverage can go up to 100x – volatility is generally low. Yet, compared to many peer economies, the rupee feels more volatile right now. Even with the Middle-East conflicts and global tensions, many major currencies stay relatively stable compared to ours.

So my only question for Modi ji... why?

Mudiji makes the calculation easy, samjha karo. /s

Devansh

Ventilator support for the INR.

Swathi

The fact that I even bet 10k that the rupee wouldn't hit 105 in two months... now it looks like I'll take a loss.

You'll get the answer in Dhurandhar Part 3. You won't get the masterclass.

Isha

In the next six months it'll cross 120. Mark it, take a screenshot, draw a diagram, even get a tattoo if you want.

Farhan

Can't find the 'waah Modiji waah' meme.
