The groups and items for which the index showed variations during the month are as follows:-
The index for ‘Food Articles' group rose by 0.3 percent to 213.2 (Provisional) from 212.5 (Provisional) for the previous month due to higher prices of ragi (10%), bajra (5%), barley (3%), wheat and fish-marine (2% each) and fish-inland, mutton, gram, maize and fruits & vegetables (1% each). However, the prices of poultry chicken (8%), coffee and jowar (4% each), urad (3%), tea (2%) and arhar (1%) declined.
The sharp decline in inflation may now raises hopes for a repo rate cut by the RBI when it meets to review its monetary policy on Dec 18.
Stock markets reacted favourably to a drop in the inflation rate with banking stocks gaining on the hopes of rate cuts or a CRR cut.
