India's central bank kept its benchmark interest rate steady at 5.25% for the fifth consecutive time, even as retail inflation rose to 4.38% in June, surpassing the RBI's 4% target. The RBI emphasized that core inflation, excluding volatile food and fuel prices, remains moderate but acknowledged inflation pressures mainly from rising fuel and food costs. The central bank is cautious about future rate changes, awaiting clearer inflation trends and considering economic growth factors. Inflation is expected to stay above 5% for several months, with some analysts predicting rate hikes later this year amid ongoing global energy price pressures and domestic economic challenges.
