Rupee falls 22 paise to settle at 86.02 against U.S. dollar
The rupee depreciated 22 paise and fell below 86 level to close at 86.02 (provisional) against the U.S. dollar on Monday (July 15, 2025) amid a rise in global crude oil prices and a strengthening greenback. Foreign fund outflows and delay in any breakthrough in the India-U.S. trade deal further pressured the local unit, according to forex traders. At the interbank foreign exchange, the local unit opened at 85.96 and traded in a narrow range of 85.92-86.05 before settling at 86.02 (provisional), down 22 paise from its previous close. The rupee depreciated 10 paise to close at 85.80 against the U.S. dollar on Friday. "The Indian rupee again fell as India-U.S. trade deal was yet to be seen while U.S. President Donald Trump applied tariffs on the EU and Mexico, two of its biggest trading partners. Dollar index rose and kept the rupee lower for the entire day while Asian currencies were slightly weaker," Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.03% to 97.82. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 1.56% to $71.46 per barrel in futures trade. "The Reserve Bank of India [RBI] was present to protect the rupee while FPIs who were sellers of equity on Friday were dollar buyers, keeping rupee well bid for the whole day without any major correction. We expect the rupee to move between 85.75 and 86.25 on Tuesday as we await for U.S. CPI data," he said. An Indian Commerce Ministry team reached Washington for another round of talks on the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA), according to an official. The four-day talks will start on Monday and conclude on Thursday. On the domestic equity market front, the Sensex declined 247.01 points to settle at 82,253.46, while the Nifty dropped 67.55 points to 25,082.30. Wholesale price inflation (WPI) turned negative after a gap of 19 months, declining 0.13% in June as deflation widened in food articles and fuel, along with softening in manufactured product costs, government data showed on Monday. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold equities worth ₹5,104.22 crore on a net basis on Friday, according to exchange data. Further, the latest RBI data released on Friday showed India's forex reserves dropped $3.049 billion to $699.736 billion in the week ended July 4.

Vietnam to ban fossil-fuel motorcycles in central Hanoi from July 2026
The directive issued by Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh applies to the area inside and along the main ring road that encircles the centre of Hanoi AP Hanoi Vietnam will ban fossil-fuel motorcycles and mopeds in the heart of the capital, Hanoi, starting July 2026, as part of a nationwide effort to curb air pollution, state media reported. The directive issued by Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh applies to the area inside and along the main ring road that encircles the centre of Hanoi. The local government has been tasked with phasing out the two-wheelers by the deadline. Like the rest of Vietnam, motorcycles are the main mode of transport for most of Hanoi's 8 million residents. The city has nearly 7 million motorcycles and just over a million cars. But as incomes rise and more people switch to private vehicles, air pollution from traffic has become a growing concern. Hanoi is often enveloped in thick smog, ranking among the most polluted cities worldwide. Vietnam also wants to switch from fossil-fuel to electric vehicles to cut pollution and tackle climate change. Local EV maker VinFast is leading the shift by holding nearly a fifth of the market share, according to the European Chamber of Commerce. But it still has only a small share of the two-wheeler market. But many are concerned about the unclear plan for phasing out the vehicles. Nguyen Van Hung, 62, has spent three decades driving a motorcycle taxi in Hanoi, now working with Grab, a ride-hailing app widely used across Southeast Asia. He worries the ban will hit the working class hardest. It will affect people who rely on motorbikes to earn a living, he said, pointing to delivery drivers, commuters and ride-hailing services. How can people just discard their vehicles? Others said that the timeline was unrealistic. Hoang Duy Dung, 32, an office clerk who works in the city centre, said he supports cleaner air but believes it is too soon. We need better public transport and more support before such a big change. Central Hanoi is home to much of the city's business activity, including offices, government buildings and commercial hubs. A second phase, set to begin in January 2028, will expand the ban to a wider area and include all fossil-fuel two-wheelers, while also restricting some gasoline-powered cars. Other measures include upgrading waste-treatment plants, using digital tools to monitor pollution and introducing stricter penalties for violators. Whistleblowers could be rewarded for reporting environmental breaches.
