<h1>Currency slips to 88.69/USD amid strong dollar, weak markets and FII selling; government approves Rs 25,060 crore export plan</h1> The domestic currency weakened slightly to 88.69 per US dollar in early trade as a firm US dollar index and weak equity markets dampened investor sentiment, while ongoing US-India trade discussions provided limited support. Market commentary identified key technical support and resistance levels for the currency. Foreign institutional net equity selling continued, and Brent crude eased marginally. Separately, the government approved a six-year Export Promotion Mission with a Rs 25,060 crore outlay across two sub-schemes to support exporters facing higher foreign tariffs, a policy measure aimed at reducing trade-balance pressures and bolstering external stability.
