In theory, yes , futures should trade above spot due to interest rates. If they don’t, there’s an arbitrage opportunity.

From July 2016 to October 2025, the USD-INR spot rate has moved from approximately ₹67 to nearly ₹88. This depreciation reflects a combination of global monetary tightening, persistent current account deficits, and intermittent capital outflows.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFor instance, during 2022–2023, the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes triggered a flight to safety, strengthening the Dollar globally. Simultaneously, India faced elevated import bills due to high crude prices, further pressuring the Rupee. In 2024, despite RBI’s active intervention, the Rupee touched record lows amid geopolitical tensions and FII outflows.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003col start=\u00222\u0022\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e Daily Return Characteristics\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecent data from September–October 2025 shows the following daily return behavior for USD-INR:\u003c/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eDate\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003ctd width=\u0022387\u0022\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaily Return (%)\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 Oct 2025\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003ctd width=\u0022387\u0022\u003e\u003cp\u003e-1.09%\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cp\u003e14 Oct 2025\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003ctd width=\u0022387\u0022\u003e\u003cp\u003e+0.13%\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 Oct 2025\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003ctd width=\u0022387\u0022\u003e\u003cp\u003e+0.21%\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003c/tbody\u003e\u003c/table\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe average daily return remains modest, around 0.02%–0.03%, with occasional spikes due to macroeconomic events.
