Rupee may slide to 102 against US dollar by December 2027, 106 by 2028: Report
Axis Bank is in focus.
· Business Today Mkts
The rupee could weaken to ₹102 against the US dollar by December 2027 and ₹106 by December 2028, Axis Bank Research predicts. Despite a recent recovery, persistent capital outflows, RBI intervention and pressure on forex reserves could keep the currency under strain.
The analysis
Axis Bank reported ₹102 and ₹106. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +2.0% on the day at ₹1,232.70, and has returned -3.1% over three months. It sits 12% below its 52-week high. The banks sector has moved -7.4% over the same period, so Axis Bank is running 4.3 points ahead of its peers.
For Axis Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- With RBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- In focus: Axis Bank (AXISBANK), in Banks.
- Over three months: Axis Bank -3.1% against Banks -7.4% (4.3 points ahead).
