ICICI Securities Report

Wholesale price Index inflation increased to seven month high of 1.3% in September 2020, up from 0.2% in August 2020.

It should be noted that WPI inflation was in the negative territory during April-July 2020.

inflation in September 2019 had fallen to 0.3% from 1.2% in August 2019.

However, even after adjusting for base effect (i.e. assuming index had remained unchanged between August-September 2019), WPI inflation in September 2020 would have come in at 1.2%.

This shows that most of the increase in wholesale inflation in September 2020 is driven by sequential momentum.
