Key Factors Impacting INR Today:

• Rupee Weakens Against USD: The Indian Rupee opened weaker at ₹85.73 against the US Dollar, marking its worst opening since March 10, after closing at ₹85.51 on Friday. The currency has depreciated by 28 paisa in the last two sessions due to rising global trade conflict concerns.
• Impact of Trump’s Tariffs: US President Donald Trump imposed a 26% tariff on Indian imports, higher than the 20% on the EU, 24% on Japan, and 25% on South Korea. This move has sparked fears of global trade disruption, potentially affecting supply chains and increasing volatility in financial markets.
• Market Outlook and INR Trajectory: Analysts expect the Rupee to find strong support around ₹85.50–85.60, with a potential rebound towards ₹86.00–86.20. In the long run, as the Dollar weakens and tariffs weigh on economic growth, the USD-INR pair could move towards ₹84.80–85.00 levels.
