LKR to USD 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent Sri Lankan rupee → dollar forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Sri Lankan rupee to US dollar performance and trends.

 

USD/LKR Outlook:

Bearish, as the rate is below its recent average and near recent lows, pressured by a decline in the US Dollar.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Federal Reserve's decision to maintain interest rates reflects a cautious approach, contributing to USD's current decline.

• Risk/commodities: Oil prices are stable, limiting upward pressure on the USD and offering no support for the LKR.

• One macro factor: Sri Lanka's central bank has injected liquidity into the market through significant dollar purchases, leading to further depreciation of the LKR.

Range:

The USD to LKR is likely to drift within the recent 3-month range, potentially testing its lower extremes.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A surprise uptick in US payroll figures could strengthen the USD.

• Downside risk: Increased tensions from US trade policies could further weaken the USD.
