However, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on a yearly basis was below the same period last year in April 2019. In April last year, retail inflation was 4.58 percent.

However, like the stock market, the condition of rupees is not well in the past few days. On Monday, the rupee dropped 59 paise to close at 70.51 against the US dollar due to fresh concerns over the price rise in crude oil prices. This is the lowest level of rupees for about two months.
