Inflation at 5.07% on Jan 24

IInflation for the week ended Jan 24 slipped to 5.07% from 5.64% as prices of food items eased after rising for two consecutive weeks.
This was lower than a forecast 5.21 per cent in the wholesale price index in the 12 months to Jan. 24, compared with 5.64 per cent in the previous week. It would be the slowest annual rise since Feb 9 last year when inflation was at 4.98 per cent. Inflation had fallen to an 11-month low of 5.24 per cent on Jan. 3, but it rose in the next two weeks following an eight-day nationwide truckers' strike that pushed up food prices.
