A Reuters poll of 37 FX strategists expects the rupee, trading near 94.70 per dollar, to weaken to 96.00 by end-January and 96.33 by end-April. Record foreign investor outflows and higher oil prices are cited as persistent pressures despite RBI intervention.
A weaker rupee raises India's import costs for oil and fertiliser and can sustain Indian demand for dollar-priced commodities while making Indian exports cheaper.
