RBI to hike rates

“We expect USD weakness, solid growth, and tight monetary policy to lead to a stable to slightly lower USD/INR by the end of the year.”

“USD/INR has held within a narrow range since the start of the year, between the 80.50-82.50 range. We project a slightly lower USD/INR by year-end to 81.50.”
