Odisha records one of the lowest inflation rates in June
1 2 Kendrapada: Odisha recorded one of the lowest inflation rates in the country in June 2025, with rural inflation at 0.46% and urban inflation at 0.64%, well below the national averages of 1.72% and 2.56%, according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from the ministry of statistics and programme implementation (MoSPI). The figures were shared by B L Verma, minister of state for consumer affairs, food and public distribution, in response to a question in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. He was replying to a query from BJD MP Manas Ranjan Mangaraj, noting that the department monitors daily prices of 38 essential food commodities. Price data is collected from 566 monitoring centres nationwide, including 28 in the state. Verma said prices of essential food items remain stable and under control. He highlighted the price stabilisation fund (PSF) scheme, launched in 2014-15 to shield consumers from extreme volatility in agri-horticultural commodity prices and ensure affordability. In 2018–19, the Centre approved the state govt's proposal to create a Rs 100 crore state-level price stabilisation fund, releasing Rs 25 crore as the first instalment of the Centre's share. The fund is meant to manage price swings in pulses, onions and potatoes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kiuu: Unsold Sofas Prices May Surprise You (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Govt tracks availability and pricing of essential commodities through regular reviews by the inter-ministerial committee (IMC), which assesses trends and recommends measures such as boosting domestic production and increasing imports.

Main target will be growth, not prices; RBI rate cuts unlikely soon: Economists
Mumbai: A majority of economists say that growth, rather than inflation, will be the primary driver of monetary policy decisions while adding that the Reserve Bank of India is unlikely to cut the policy repo rate further from 5.5% now. "We believe that growth would guide the RBI's thought process as inflation remains benign. We do not see any further cuts in our base case," Rahul Bajoria and Smriti Mehra, economists at BofA Securities India, wrote in a report. Inflation as measured by consumer price index fell to 1.55% in July-the lowest since June 2017 and well below the central bank's inflation target range of 2-6%, data released on Tuesday showed. The RBI's monetary policy committee (MPC) has reduced the repo rate by 100 bps since February, but left it unchanged at 5.5% last week. The MPC's next decision will be announced on October 1. The central bank reduced CPI forecast for the current financial year by 60 basis points but retained GDP growth forecast at 6.5%. Economists said there would be a rate cut only if the 50% US tariffs on India significantly impact growth. "Given the inflation outlook, the RBI has room to cut rates further by 25-50 bps in case there is evidence that growth is slowing down significantly due to tariff shocks," said Sakshi Gupta, principal economist at HDFC Bank . "For now, we do not expect further rate cuts." HDFC Bank has retained the GDP growth estimate at 6.3% due to likely offsetting factors and on the possibility that the US tariffs could be negotiated down, she said. Sameer Narang, head, economic research group at ICICI Bank , does not see any rate cut from RBI if growth remains sustainably above 6%. "As of now, we foresee growth at 6.3% which also does not call for any more rate cuts. However, if downside risks to growth are visible because of external headwinds, then easing may again be on the table," he said. Economists said the June quarter GDP data, due for release on August 29, will be keenly watched for cues on the RBI's rate action. However, this data will not include the impact of tariffs as the US duties came into effect this month. Even as the consensus view is inclined towards 5.5% as the terminal repo rate, a few economists expect further reduction. Economists at HSBC India believe that if some of the weak high frequency data from June continue, the RBI can mark down its growth forecast and deliver a 25 basis point rate cut in the fourth quarter of 2025, taking the repo rate to 5.25%. Nomura sees 5.00% as the terminal rate as it expects 25 bps cut each in October and December policy meetings. "The MPC's data-dependent approach has left the door open to future cuts, even if it did not explicitly signal one," it said.

S&P 500, Nasdaq near record highs on hopes of Fed rate cut in September
The benchmark S&P 500 and the Nasdaq hovered near record highs on Wednesday as investors were increasingly confident that the Federal Reserve could restart its monetary policy easing cycle next month. Signs that US tariffs on imports have not fully filtered into headline consumer prices came as a relief for investors this week as they scour for insights on the impact trade uncertainty has had on the economy. Despite data showing underlying price pressures were on the rise, markets also factored in recent weakness in the job market and a shake-up at the Federal Reserve as they leaned in favor of a potential dovish move by the central bank in September. Traders are now fully pricing in a 25 basis points interest rate cut, according to the CME's FedWatch Tool, up from 89.2 per cent last week. The central bank last lowered borrowing costs in December. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also said he thought an aggressive half-point cut was possible given recent weak employment numbers. Stagflation "was the first word that came to my mind when I saw this CPI report yesterday," said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, referring to Tuesday's data coming on the heels of a number of other reports pointing to a cooling economy. "The slowdown that we're seeing is probably fairly temporary, at least at this point. So inflation is something that we're absolutely worried about because we saw that uptick." At 12:18 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 363.26 points, or 0.82 per cent, to 44,821.52, the S&P 500 gained 9.34 points, or 0.15 per cent, to 6,455.15 and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 15.77 points, or 0.07 per cent, to 21,697.97. The blue-chip Dow was within 1 per cent away from an all-time high and the Russell 2000 index, which tracks rate-sensitive small-cap companies, added 0.1.3 per cent to hit a six-month high. Investors were also taking notice of other sectors following the recent tech-led rally in US stocks that have pushed valuations of the S&P 500 above long-term averages. Healthcare stocks, which have been beaten down for much of the year, led gains among the 11 S&P 500 sectors with a 1.4 per cent rise, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index was marginally lower. Later in the day, investors will scrutinize remarks of a number of policymakers, especially Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee. CoreWeave, which is backed by Nvidia, slumped 17.6 per cent after the AI data center operator reported a bigger-than-expected quarterly net loss. Eyes are also on developments surrounding the China revenue-sharing deal the US government signed with top chipmakers, which the White House said could be expanded to others in the sector. Paramount Skydance jumped 30 per cent. The company won exclusive broadcasting rights to the Ultimate Fighting Championship for seven years earlier this week. In geopolitics, traders also were keen on a meeting between Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin on the Ukraine conflict scheduled on Friday. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.96-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 2.28-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P 500 posted 37 new 52-week highs and two new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 131 new highs and 49 new lows.
