Rupee to outperform emerging market peers in periods of dollar strength
Financial Express Kochi|December 12, 2024
While the rupee might move in line with the global US dollar trend, the overall India macro picture suggests a stable outlook for the rupee.

Rupee to outperform emerging market peers in periods of dollar strength

dynamics helped the Fed turn significantly dovish, starting the cycle with a 50-bps cut. However, with economic data continuing to be resilient and Trump 2.0 being expected to stoke inflation, the rate-cut cycle is likely to remain shallow. In addition, poor growth dynamics in Europe is expected to keep the ECB dovish. This divergence and expected US policy changes are expected to drive US dollar strength over the foreseeable future and be net negative for EM (emerging market) currencies, though the impact is expected to be unequal. The Chinese yuan, euro, Mexican peso are expected to bear most of the brunt of the new Trump tariffs. The RBI over the past couple of years has ensured a stable regime for India's forex and rates markets and we largely expect this trend to continue into the next year.

The key question for India's forex markets will be how the government and RBI react to even greater weakness of the yuan, given India's large trade deficit with China. That said, in our view, the rupee will remain less volatile compared with other EM currencies.
