Experts anticipate the Indian rupee will stabilize in 2026, trading within an 88-91.50 range, following a significant depreciation in 2025. Key factors influencing the currency's performance include US-India trade negotiations and capital flow direction. Despite global dollar weakness, India-specific pressures like substantial foreign portfolio investor outflows and trade deficit concerns contributed to the rupee's record lows last year. The Reserve Bank of India's approach to market-driven currency movements is also a significant consideration.
