Rupee's Predicament Under Trump 2.0 Regime

In a projection by the State Bank of India (SBI), the rupee is poised to depreciate between 8-10% against the US dollar under the anticipated Trump 2.0 era, despite hitting an all-time low on Monday.

The report, evocatively titled 'US Presidential Election 2024: How Trump 2.0 Impacts India's and Global Economy,' underscores the possibilities of short-lived currency fluctuations, transitioning into periods of appreciation.

While the comeback of Donald J. Trump as the 47th US President creates market turbulence, it simultaneously unlocks opportunities for India to bolster manufacturing, diversify export strategies, and push towards economic autonomy, the report suggests.
