<h1>India-US trade talks ease currency volatility as negotiator meets officials after tariffs prompt exporters' legal and market risks</h1> The domestic currency strengthened modestly amid ongoing bilateral trade negotiations between India and the United States, as a US negotiator met Indian officials following prior rounds of talks and a postponed negotiation round triggered by imposition of 50% US tariffs on Indian goods. The tariffs have reportedly affected Indian exports and prompted market caution; regulators increased intervention in offshore non-deliverable forward markets to limit volatility. Equity outflows by foreign institutional investors and oil and dollar index movements were noted as market factors. The talks' progress could materially affect currency stability and trade law exposure for exporters.
