Indian stock markets are still volatile, and on Thursday morning they fell once more. Today’s fall was mostly brought on by the nation’s high rates of inflation.

The Nifty was trading at 17,057.90 points at 9.42 am, down 65.70 points or 0.38 percent, while the Sensex was trading at 57,372.97 points, down 252.94 points or 0.44 percent.

Retail inflation in India increased to 7.41% in September and has now exceeded the Reserve Bank of India’s target range of 2–6% for nine consecutive months. The retail inflation rate in August was 7%.

If the CPI-based inflation is outside the 2–6% range for three consecutive quarters, the flexible inflation targeting framework considers the RBI to have failed in managing price increases.

Rupee Stability

The rupee appeared to have stabilised as traders expected a potential liquidity management action by the RBI to support the weakening rupee.  The RBI typically intervenes in the market through controlling liquidity, which may include selling dollars.

On Thursday morning at 9.46 am, Rupee appreciated marginally from the previous day’s close to trade at 82.288 per US dollar. For fresh cues, investors await the US September inflation data, due later today.
