Indian shares have dropped today, as a fall in the rupee to well below 68 per dollar has hurt stock market sentiments, especially at a time when investors are already worried about how demonetisation will affect economic growth. The rupee fell to as low as 68.8 per dollar, nearly surpassing its record low of 68.85 that it hit in August 2013 until the RBI intervened. 

Today - November 24 - is the last day to use old Rs.500/Rs.1000 notes at utilities like medical stores, railway stations, electricity and water bills, and airline counters. 

Stock in spotlight: Hindalco is now in strongly bullish territory, with a technical score of 89.3.
