price index based inflation accelerated to 8-month high at 7.34% YoY in Sep
2020 from 6.69% in Aug 2020 and 3.99% in Sep 2019 mainly on account of
higher food prices. Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI) rose to 10.68% YoY
during the reported period from 9.05% in the prior month due to spurt in
vegetable prices.
• Finance Minister also announced Rs. 12,000 crore interest-free 50-year loan

capital projects.
• Index of Industrial production (IIP) contracted 8% YoY in Aug 2020, worse
than 1.4% in Aug 2019 mainly due to plunge in manufacturing.

lower 0.11%, Hang Seng was up 2.20% (as at 8 a.m. IST), respectively.
• European markets mostly rose on optimism about a fiscal stimulus in the
U.S., and encouraging economic data out of China. However, concerns
about a surge in coronavirus cases across the continent restricted the gains.
• U.S. markets rose higher helped by technology stocks. The markets also
continued to benefit from optimism about a new U.S. stimulus bill.
