USD/INR has been rather stable at just above the 83.00 level for the past five weeks. Economists at Commerzbank analyze Rupee’s outlook.
RBI would need to stay vigilant on the inflation front. Headline inflation moderated to 5% YoY in September and back within RBI’s 2-6% target range.
However, RBI is unlikely to consider a shift to an easier policy stance anytime soon. It is expected to keep rates steady at 6.50% for the foreseeable future.
RBI will be content with the stability in INR.
