WPI inflation falls to four-month low of 5.43 per cent in June

Wholesale price inflation in June eased to a four-month low of 5.43 per cent, helped by slower increases in food and fuel costs, government data showed on Monday.

The rise in the wholesale price index (WPI) compared with a 5.80 per cent year-on-year jump forecast by economists in a Reuters poll. In May, wholesale prices rose at their fastest pace in five months to 6.01 per cent.

The reading for April WPI inflation was revised to 5.55 per cent from 5.20 per cent earlier.
