MUFG’s Michael Wan views the detailed US–India interim trade deal, including tariff cuts and exemptions, as positive for India’s external position. He sees scope for USD/INR to briefly break below 90 in coming months, but expects only a shallow INR recovery. MUFG forecasts USD/INR at 89.50 in Q1 2026 before rising back to 93.00 by year-end on FDI repatriation and wider deficits.
Tariff cuts help but upside later
"USD/INR: US and India provided more details around the interim trade deal. Overall we think it is a positive, and we forecast USD/INR at 89.50 by March 2026 and 93.00 by Dec 2026"
"Overall, we continue to think there is a good chance for USD/INR to break below the 90 level over the next few months but this will likely be a shallow recovery to reach"
"89.50 in 1Q2026."
"Over time, we continue to see USD/INR rising to 93.00 by 4Q2026, driven by continued FDI repatriation and import needs with a wider current account deficit."
"Overall we view the details as positive, notwithstanding some possible political pushback in India on some of the agricultural related concessions."
