The Rupee logged its sharpest fall since late-July on Tuesday, pressured by a third straight day ?of rising oil prices that pushed Brent to near $100 a barrel ?as the ongoing Iran war deepened worries over sustained energy supply disruptions. Singed by ?the pressure, the rupee declined to 94.8175 per dollar by ?the end of the session, down 0.35% from its previous close.

Sterling ?was little changed at 85.83 pence per euro but slumped further ?against the ?Japanese yen , falling 0.2% to a near seven-month low of 208.46 yen as the Japanese currency climbed on expectations of a hawkish Bank of Japan outcome next week.
