The USD/INR exchange rate fell on investor caution ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration as U.S. President. The pair slid below 81.20 during Friday’s session as traders evaluated the potential policy shifts under Trump’s administration, including trade tariffs and fiscal spending, that could affect global risk sentiment and dollar demand.

Emerging market currencies, including the Indian Rupee, gained amid a weaker dollar, supported by skepticism over whether Trump’s economic agenda would be inflationary enough to justify aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. India’s robust foreign exchange reserves and stabilizing domestic conditions have also provided a buffer, aiding the rupee’s strength.

However, analysts warn that USD/INR volatility may persist as markets await Trump’s inaugural speech and subsequent policy announcements. The president-elect’s unpredictable stance on key issues like trade agreements and geopolitical alliances poses risks for both developed and emerging markets.

Market participants will monitor developments closely, with the RBI’s stance on intervention also in focus. While the Indian central bank has maintained measured activity in recent sessions, significant shifts in global dollar flows may prompt action to stabilize the rupee. For now, investors remain cautious amid heightened uncertainty.
