Churchil Bhatt, EVP, Debt Investments, Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company said, “It’s natural for Emerging Market currencies to weaken during risk-off sentiments. High oil import bills and FPI equity outflows are key market drivers at this point. While the Reserve Bank of India has sufficient reserves to manage any undue volatility, INR may be expected to move in line with its Asian peers. We expect INR to exhibit a near-term bias for orderly depreciation towards 80 levels.”
