CPI Softens to 4.4%, below consensus for February 2018
India’s Consumer Price Ination (CPI) for Feb 2018 came in at 4.44% YoY, below
than consensus (Bloomberg) of 4.70%. CPI declined as compared to January print
of 5.07% YoY. Softening of ination coupled with a pickup in growth (see section on
IIP below) is good news. CPI and IIP being better than consensus is likely to cheer
markets. Sharp decline in the period of April 2017 to June 2017 implies a higher
CPI print in the coming months, but should fall back thereafter. RBI forecasts CPI to
average 5.1% in H1FY19E and 4.5%-4.6% in H2FY19E. Overall we believe today’s
ination print being lower than expectations reduces the probability of a rate hike
in the immmediate future.
Ination ne print: The rural and urban ination for Feb 2018 came in at 4.37%
and 4.52% respectively. Food and Beverages product group ination came in at
3.38 % in Feb 2018 vs. 4.58% in Jan 2018 driven by vegetable and egg prices,
which grew at 17.57% and 8.51% respectively. Conversely, prices for pulses de-
grew by -17.35%, similar to the previous month (-20.19%). Pan, tobacco and
intoxicants group ination recorded 7.34%. Clothing & Footwear ination came in
at 5.0%. Housing group ination is recorded at 8.28%, similar to that of Jan 2018
at 8.3% which reects rise in HRA for civil servants. Fuel & Light group ination
came at 6.80% as compared to 7.73% of Jan 2018. Miscellaneous product group
ination is recorded at 3.85%. The annual consensus for CPI stands at 3.7% and
4.6% for FY18E and FY19E respectively.
IIP growth for January 2018 posted 7.5%
IIP growth for Jan 2018 registered 7.5% YoY (higher than consensus of 6.4%) as
compared to 7.1% of Dec 2017 driven by the manufacturing sector, which grew at
8.7% YoY supported by 16 out of 23 industry groups.
The cumulative growth for the period Apr 2017-Jan 2018 stands at 4.1% YoY. The
3-month moving average (Nov-Jan 2018) is 7.8% as compared to 3.6% during
the same period in 2017. Though volatile, this is supportive of a pick up in growth
momentum, while ination appears to be well behaved.
