<h1>National currency tumbles to record low as trade pact uncertainty, capital outflows, weak equities and strong dollar fuel volatility</h1> A national currency hit an all-time low against the dollar amid uncertainty over a bilateral trade agreement between two countries, weak domestic equity markets, foreign institutional outflows and stronger crude and dollar indices. Market participants cited downside risk from unresolved tariff issues, recent imposition of high duties by one side that delayed negotiation rounds, and upcoming US economic data and speeches as potential volatility drivers. Regulators and traders may face increased pressure from capital flight and exchange-rate volatility while negotiations remain unfinished and no new dates for talks have been confirmed.
