Retail inflation hits 5-month high of 3.36% on costlier veggies

The consumer price index (CPI)-based inflation rose to a five-month high at 3.36 per cent in August from 2.36 per cent in the previous month as food items, particularly vegetables turned inflationary from the price fall seen in the previous three months. Also, the goods and services tax (GST) made certain services inflationary, dampening chances of RBI cutting the repo rate next month.Before this, inflation was higher at 3.89 per cent in March. Food items witnessed inflation at 1.52 per cent in August against deflation of 0.36 per cent in July. Within this category, vegetables saw prices rising at the rate of 6.16 per cent against price fall of 1.67 per cent.

WPI jumps to 39-month high of 6.55% in Feb

Snapping a trend of last four months, both inflation numbers based on the consumer price index (CPI) and the wholesale price index (WPI) moved in the same direction, rising in February against the previous month. While WPI inflation jumped to a 39-month high of 6.55 per cent in February compared to 5.25 per cent in the previous month, the CPI inflation rose to a three-month high of 3.6 per cent from 3.2 per cent. The data justified the Reserve Bank of India's caution on loose monetary stance amid expected increase in interest rates in the United States in the next few days. The likelihood of RBI cutting the policy rates in April remained subdued. The inflation numbers were up on the back of expensive food and fuel items, even as manufacturing products saw a decline in inflation.
