Wholesale Prices Inflation data to be released YoY

Indian Indices:
Markets witnessed another weak trading session as rate sensitive stocks slumped after sharply higher food prices drove up retail inflation to 11.24% in November raising expectations of a rate hike by the central bank when it meets on December 18 for monetary policy review. The sentiments were further dampened after Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan said on Thursday that there was not much room to indulge in monetary policy accommodation, given inflation was high.

Market opened lower on Friday as two sets of data released on Thursday showed a sharp spike in retail inflation and a worse-than-expected contraction in industrial production. As a result, market players expect the central bank to increase the repo rate by at least 25 basis points to 8% - exactly the level at the beginning of this year. The broader markets too ended lower with BSE Small-cap down by 0.95% and Mid-cap up by 1.26%.

On currency front, the rupee continued to trade weaker by 40 paise at 62.26/10 versus its close of 61.81/82 on Thursday as higher-than-expected retail inflation pushes up expectations of a rate hike by the central bank at its upcoming monetary policy review on December 18.
