Early Times Report MUMBAI, Dec 15: The rupee on Monday (December 15, 2025) crashed to its lowest-ever level of 90.80 before settling at a fresh all-time low of 90.74 (provisional) against the U.S. dollar, registering a loss of 25 paise over its previous close, weighed down by uncertainty over an India-U.S. trade deal and persistent foreign fund outflows.
