Rajani Sinha, Chief Economist & National Director – Research, Knight Frank India:

While CPI is at a comfortable level around 4%, inflationary concerns persist with high core inflation. While the cut in excise duty on petrol/ diesel will provide reprieve to inflation, high global commodity prices including energy prices, pose a threat for future inflation. 

Even with economies bouncing back to normalcy, some of the supply bottlenecks are still lingering and to add to that there is threat of demand side pressure on inflation gathering strength. 

Globally also the threat of inflation is surging because of supply bottlenecks and high commodity prices. While RBI will be cautious of inflationary threat, the Central Bank is likely to be gradual in its policy normalization

Petrol, diesel prices on November 15:

Petrol and diesel prices remained the same for the eleventh day in a row on November 15 after the Central government cut the excise duty on the two fuels to bring down retail rates from record highs, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.

The government cut excise duty on petrol by Rs 5 per litre and that on diesel by Rs 10 a litre on November 3 to give relief to consumers battered by record-high retail fuel prices. The November 4 decline took the price of petrol in Delhi to Rs 103.97 a litre. The price remained the same on November 15. Diesel price stayed unchanged at Rs 86.67 per litre on the day.

Rajani Sinha, Chief Economist & National Director – Research, Knight Frank India:

While the sharp deceleration in IIP growth is mainly because of the base effect, even on a sequential basis the IIP has shown a decline and this is a cause of concern. 

While the infrastructure sector has shown a sequential decline, the silver lining is that on a MoM basis the consumer goods segment, specifically the consumer durables sector has shown a strong improvement. 

Going forward, for sustainable economic momentum in 2022, the critical driver would be boost to consumer spending through demand stimulating government policies. Eventually private investment will also improve as capacity utilization level improves going forward.

Japan’s economy shrinks more than expected as supply shortages hit

Japan’s economy contracted much faster than expected in the third quarter as global supply disruptions hit exports and business spending plans and fresh COVID-19 cases soured the consumer mood.

While many analysts expect the world’s third-largest economy to rebound in the current quarter as virus curbs ease, worsening global production bottlenecks pose increasing risks to export-reliant Japan.

The economy shrank an annualised 3.0% in July-September after a revised 1.5% gain in the first quarter, preliminary gross domestic product (GDP) data showed on Monday, much worse than a median market forecast for a 0.8% contraction.
