Recent forecasts for the USD to INR exchange rate indicate a growing complexity influenced by political developments in the United States. Following the re-election of Donald Trump, there has been a notable rally in the US dollar, driven by expectations of pro-business policies that could sustain elevated interest rates. This optimism has been further exacerbated by strong Treasury yields, which have pushed the USD to a 90-day high of approximately 84.85 against the Indian rupee (INR). Economists note that such developments are fostering a climate of uncertainty for the Indian rupee, with FX analysts suggesting that the currency may face increased volatility as market participants react to potential tariff regimes and inflationary pressures emanating from volatile energy markets.
