The rupee on September 3 dropped sharply by 97 paise to more than nine-month low of 72.39 against the US dollar as heavy sell-off in the domestic equity market, weak macro environment, and a stronger greenback kept investors edgy, said PTI.

The Indian currency came under pressure after official data released on Friday showed that India's GDP growth fell to an over six-year low of 5 percent in the June quarter, it added.

The domestic currency settled down by 97 paise at 72.39 per dollar, logging its worst single-day fall since August 5 and the lowest closing level since November 13, 2018.

The dollar-rupee September contract on the NSE was at 72.58 in the previous session. Open interest increased 14.28% in the previous session, said ICICIdirect.

We expect the USD-INR to find supports at lower levels. Utilize downsides in the pair to initiate long positions, it added.
