Aditi Nayar, Chief Economist, ICRA, says she expects that the rupee will remain in the 85-86 range until the Budget is presented and that will take care of the Trump presidency transition as well. Once the Budget is presented, and there is some clarity on the US tariff policy front – although possibly we are in for a year where there could be a lot more volatility and a lot more changes as compared to what we have seen in the past coming in from the US – ICRA will take a relook.

Having said that, the Indian rupee has still been one of the strongest performing EM currencies in the recent period.
