Weak Indian rupee may blunt US tariff bite, say economists

The Indian rupee's recent depreciation, hitting near its all-time low, may soften the impact of increased U.S. tariffs amid trade tensions. While other Asian currencies have appreciated, the rupee has declined, providing India with a competitive price advantage in export markets. Economists suggest the RBI may favor a weaker rupee to offset the drag on GDP growth from higher tariffs.
