Investors are now waiting for August retail inflation data for India, which is coming at 5.30 pm today, for new cues.
Retail inflation in India spiked rapidly in July to 7.44%, exceeding the RBI’s upper tolerance target of 6%. This increase was mostly caused by a sharp increase in the cost of vegetables, fruits, and pulses.
