According to four dealers, the Reserve Bank of India likely sold US dollars on Monday to limit rupee losses as the currency opened trading around a lifetime low.

The rupee began at 83.3850 against the US dollar, unchanged from Friday’s loss. On November 10, the currency touched a lifetime low of 83.42.

While other Asian currencies fell on Monday, traders believe the rupee’s losses will be limited.

According to a foreign exchange trader at a private bank, the RBI is likely to “keep protecting” the rupee near these levels.
