U.S. wholesale prices fall sharply in April

 

U.S. wholesale prices sank in April for the second straight month as the cost of gasoline and vegetables fell sharply.

The producer-price index declined by a seasonally adjusted 0.7% to mark the biggest drop in more than three years, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had predicted a 0.7% decrease in April, following a 0.6% decline in March.

India: Inflation drops to 4.89% in April, lowest since November 2009

NEW DELHI: Declining price of food items, including fruits and vegetables, pulled down inflation to nearly a three-and-a-half-year low of 4.89% in April, which may present a case for further monetary policy easing.

Inflation based on the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) stood at 5.96% in March. In April, 2012, it was 7.50%.

This is the lowest level of inflation since November, 2009 when it was 4.78%.

As per official data released today, WPI inflation in the manufactured items category declined to 3.41% in April from 4.07% in March.

China inflation drops sharply in March

Food prices also dropped to 2.1% growth in March, relative to 6% inflation in the previous month. Food is an important gauge of cost of living expenses in China. It accounts for more than a third of the country’s inflation calculation, and for rural families, it makes up the bulk of expenses.

Bank of Japan stands firm while deflation worsens

The Bank of Japan said Friday it expects prices to rise as a result of its ambitious stimulus plan, even as a separate report showed deflation accelerated last month.

Japan’s consumer price index fell by 0.5% in March, the government said. Prices have now declined for five consecutive months, underscoring the monumental task facing GovernorHaruhiko Kuroda as he works to reverse 15 years of deflation.

Eurozone inflation drops for third straight month

Inflation in the eurozone has fallen to 1.7 percent, comfortably within the European Central Bank’s target range of just below 2 percent. The drop reflects the currency union’s weak economy and high unemployment.

Inflation across the 17 countries that use the euro currency dropped slightly in March, keeping it in line with the European Central Bank’s target, the European Union statistics office said on Wednesday.
