Rupee falls 8 paise to hit all-time low of 84.50 against US dollar

Mumbai, November 21, 2024.The rupee depreciated 8 paise to settle at an all-time low of 84.50 (provisional) against the US dollar on Thursday, dragged down by massive sell-off in domestic equity markets and surging crude oil prices amid a volatile geopolitical situation.According to forex traders, the American currency strengthened due to safe-haven appeal amid escalating tension between Russia and Ukraine, while the continuous outflow of foreign funds also put pressure on the domestic unit.At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 84.41 and touched the lowest-ever level of 84.51 against the greenback during intra-day.

Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 unveiled

New Delhi, November 21, 2024.The Goan Classic celebrates the custom scene that is intrinsically associated with Royal Enfield. It is meant to be a bobber-style motorcycle, which is evident in the low stance and single-seat layout. However, Royal Enfield has gone to great lengths to ensure the bike is reasonably practical and comfortable. To that extent, it gets the option of a pillion seat, which can be attached to the base of the rider seat. Also, the rear suspension has more travel than the Classic 350 – 105mm vs 90mm.The big mechanical change is the move to a 16-inch rear wheel (down from 18 inches), while the front remains the same 19-inch wheel as the Classic 350.
