# Rupee could fall to Covid depth of 76.5/dollar by the end of the year, analyst says

> Standard Chartered's head of macro trading for India and South Asia forecasts the rupee will weaken about 4% to 76.5 per dollar by end-2026, the most bearish call among analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. She cites higher commodity prices, normalizing imports, rising inflation and continued central bank intervention.

## Why it matters

A forecast of a weaker rupee implies higher costs for India's dollar-priced imports, including oil and commodities. This is an analyst view rather than a realized move, so the price impact is limited for now.
