India's retail inflation for month of June has gone up to 5 per cent compared to 4.87 per cent in May 2018, according to government data released by the Central Statistics Office today. Driven by higher fuel prices and a depreciating rupee, the forecasts for June ranged from 4 per cent to 6 percent. June was the eighth straight month in which inflation was higher than the central bank`s medium-term target of 4 percent, said a Reuters report.
