Wholesale inflation rises for 8th month in row, PPI debuts

In WPI, prices of crude petroleum and natural gas accelerated 61% in May, as compared to 56% in April. Similarly, the prices of mineral oils accelerated 50% during the month, reflecting the impact of the supply chain disruptions caused due to the prolonged conflict in west Asia. “If prices do come down sharply as has been seen today, there can be moderation in WPI inflation for sure on this account,” said Bank of Baroda chief economist Madan Sabnavis.
