India's Inflation Trends Diverge as RBI Ends Foreign Currency Deposit Scheme Early
India's inflation indicators are showing mixed trends, with consumer price inflation rising to 4.45% in July, near the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) target, while core inflation remains lower at around 3.9%. Wholesale price inflation, sensitive to supply shocks, also varies. Separately, the RBI's recent early closure of a successful foreign currency deposit scheme for Non-Resident Indians, despite initial assurances, has raised concerns about policy consistency and market communication. Both developments highlight challenges in managing economic signals and expectations.
