India's June Quarter Inflation Likely Below RBI Forecast Amid Food and Fuel Risks
India's inflation for the June quarter is expected to remain below the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) 4.2% forecast, supported by a May retail inflation rate of 3.93% year-on-year. However, rising food and fuel prices, including significant increases in vegetable costs and energy prices, pose risks for the second half of the fiscal year. The RBI is likely to maintain a data-dependent approach on interest rates, holding them steady in the near term amid concerns over El Nino and supply disruptions.
