India's Retail Inflation Rises to 5.54% in September
India's retail inflation surged to 5.54% in September, exceeding estimates and nearing the Reserve Bank of India's tolerance ceiling. The rise was driven by costlier food items, including a doubling of onion prices. Analysts suggest inflation could reach 6-7%, potentially prompting the RBI to raise the repo rate by 100-150 basis points to control price pressures.
