CPI inflation fall to act as major trigger as Nifty now gets ready to scale 15500-15,550, Anil Singhvi says

CPI inflation is at a 16-month low at 4 per cent. So, how will this bring comfort to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)? How important is this for the stock markets and what will be the impact on Bank Nifty? Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi gives his take.  

The CPI inflation in January has reduced from 4.59 per cent to 4.06 per cent. The Market Guru said that inflation numbers coming down is a welcome news and this will give a lot of comfort to the banking regulator. He said that even the RBI Governor had indicated that the food inflation will come down.

It is a matter of big relief to see the inflation coming down by almost 1 per cent, he said. He said that the December 2020 IIP growth was 1 per cent from the negative 2.1 per cent in November 2020.  

He said that if the inflation is in control then there will be no need to increase the interest rates.

He said that the markets have not seen correction for more than 1.5 days and it is first time in four months that there has been a timewise correction, the Managing Editor said. The markets have traded in a small range for over 4-5 trading sessions.
