MOSL: ECOSCOPE-Aug’19 CPI inflation lower than expectation, IIP surprises positively in Jul’19

ECOSCOPE: Aug’19 CPI inflation lower than expectation, IIP surprises positively in Jul’19; RBI likely to cut policy rate by 40bp next month

 

  • CPI-based retail inflation inched up marginally to 3.2% in Aug'19 from 3.1% a month ago. The number was lower than our expectation and market consensus of 3.3%.
  • The primary driver of higher headline inflation was food. In Aug'19, food inflation rose to a 15-month high of 3.0% and was in line with our expectations. The higher food inflation was driven by 'pulses and products', 'milk and products', 'spices' and 'vegetables'. Although food inflation was in line with our expectations, lower 'housing' and 'fuel and light' inflation print (compared to our expectations) led to lower headline inflation.
  • Among the non-food category, only 'pan, tobacco and intoxicants' and 'miscellaneous' posted a slightly higher inflation in Aug'19. Other categories such as 'fuel and light', 'housing', and 'clothing and footwear' exhibited lower inflation during the month.
