NEW DELHI: Rupee is expected to appreciate a bit and stabilise around 85-86 a dollar in the coming weeks with RBI’s continued focus on stability of the domestic currency, Deloitte economist Rumki Majumdar said.
She said that the rupee may not now see the level of 83 despite RBI’s intervention and the Indian currency being more stable than others.
The rupee tanked last week to hit its all-time low of 86.70 against the US dollar as massive foreign fund outflows and falling domestic equity markets dented investor sentiment. The rupee on January 13 logged its steepest single-day fall in nearly two years and ended the session 66 paise down at its historic low of 86.70 against the US dollar. The currency’s previous record one-day fall of 68 paise was witnessed on February 6, 2023. PTI
