Rupee may fall past 90 per dollar as RBI ditches quasi-peg, says research

Analysts Udith Sikand and Tom Miller noted that a larger depreciation of about 10%, bringing the rupee to 95, is “not out of the question.” They also mentioned that the authority faces the challenge of lowering interest rates without triggering a more significant currency decline.
