India's headline inflation eases to cooler-than-expected 2.82% in May as food prices slide
India's consumer inflation eased to a cooler-than-expected 2.82% in May, the country's Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation reported Thursday. The year-on-year headline inflation came in below a Reuters' median poll estimate of a 3% increase. It had risen by 3.16% in April. Food inflation, a key inflation metric, hit 0.99% in May, sharply below the 1.78% of April. late cut, slashing the benchmark repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.50%, a level unseen since August 2022. The move, spurred by easing inflation, underscores policymakers' shift toward more aggressive monetary easing to bolster economic growth. The RBI has cut interest rates for three consecutive meetings since February. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra attributed the latest cut to softening inflation, and growth that has been "lower than our aspirations amidst a challenging global environment and heightened uncertainty." Nomura economists peg India's headline CPI at a "subdued 3.3%" for the fiscal year 2026, undershooting the RBI's 3.7% target, citing softened commodity prices amid weakened economic activity and an influx of cheap Chinese goods into the market. The investment bank expects two additional cuts of 25 basis points in October and December, taking the terminal rate to 5%.

Air India Boeing 787 Flight Bound for London Crashes After Takeoff
00:00 Sid What can you tell us about the crash? So the airline just confirmed that 242 passengers and crew on board the aircraft and they did confirm that. They haven't yet said how many have survived or what the casualty numbers are. But we did see images of a fairly fiery explosion for the aircraft. And the I mean, we do know that the aircraft was a Boeing 787 aircraft, if this would be the first ever fatal crash for the aircraft. I mean, this aircraft is been in service for over a decade now. And it's it's used by multiple airlines as Boeing's most technologically advanced aircraft that's currently in service. And this would be the first fatal crash for that model we still looking at. We're still waiting to see what the airline or the authorities talk about in terms of what the reason for the crash was. I mean, I think we will know more about it as the days and months go by. But at the moment, it doesn't we don't really have a cause for what happened. We do know that the aircraft climbed to about 625 feet. So shortly after takeoff, this this accident occurred. And we're still waiting on more details for what really went down. And give us some context, said Ahmedabad is in Gujarat region and Air India would be the flag carrier airline. Right. Yeah. So Air India is India's flag carrier and they operate international services to the US, the UK and other destinations around the world. They're in the midst of a massive turnaround under the Tata Group. I mean Tata Group acquired Air India from the government of India and they've placed large orders for 500 plus aircraft. They're revitalizing their fleet, revitalizing their services, adding more destinations. And so this is a massive blow to the carrier, which had sort of ambitions to scale up and target more and more passengers, bring in more passengers to the hubs in New Delhi and Mumbai. And so we are so I mean, this would be a massive blow to Air India's growth plans, as well as to their safety record. But, I mean, at the same time, we still don't know what really went wrong and why this crash occurred. And we're still sort of waiting for more from the government and more from the authorities in terms of what the details of this incident are. All right, Sid, thank you. We're just getting another headline now that it had 169 Indian and 53 British nationals on board.
