Retail inflation rises to 4.45% in July 2026

Retail inflation rises to 4.45% in July 2026, according to NSO data, up from 4.10% in June. The rise is driven by higher food and fuel prices, with CPI inflation exceeding the RBI's upper tolerance band of 4%. This could pressure the MPC to maintain hawkish stance in the upcoming policy review. Persistent inflation may delay rate cuts, affecting bond yields and equity valuations.
