DBS Group Research projects that India’s inflation rate will climb to 5.7% year-on-year in September, up from 4.8% previously. This increase is attributed to rising food prices and higher costs for non-food fuel, according to the research firm.
Looking ahead, DBS Group Research anticipates that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will keep the possibility of a rate hike open for December 2026, signaling a cautious approach to monetary policy amid inflationary pressures.
For Japanese investors and traders, developments in India’s inflation and RBI’s policy stance are important to watch, as they can influence the Indian Rupee’s performance and broader Asia-Pacific market dynamics.
