# POLL-India rupee set to resume slide as foreign inflows remain weak

> A Reuters poll of 37 FX strategists expects the rupee, near 94.70 per dollar, to weaken to 96.00 by end-January and 96.33 by end-April. Pressure comes from high oil prices and record foreign investor outflows, despite a weaker dollar and RBI measures.
