If coking coal, iron ore prices fall further, downside will be seen in domestic steel prices.

Upasna Bhardwaj, Senior Economist at Kotak Mahindra Bank:
Despite government’s supply side interventions to curb price pressures, the foreseeable inflation trajectory remains skewed closer to 7%. We expect the MPC to revise upward the inflation trajectory by 70-80bps accounting for the upside price pressures. The GDP estimates may remain unchanged for now. From the policy withdrawal perspective, RBI in the last two months has moved quite aggressively and swiftly. The weighted average overnight rates have risen by 80-90bps since the April MPC policy. The recent countercyclical government measures has clearly provided room for the MPC to avoid disruptive tightening. We expect a repo rate hike of 35-40bps and status quo on CRR in the upcoming June policy.
