Inflation turns positive as food stays pricey: The annual rate of inflation came in at 0.12% for the week ended September 5, ending the 13-week decline in the wholesale price index (WPI) as prices of food articles showed no signs of abating. Inflationary pressures are beginning to build up with retail inflation already in double digits. With the comfort of negative inflation for the most widely-watched WPI also gone, economists expect the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to take steps to suck out excess liquidity from the system and even resort to selective credit control.
