    WPI witnesses steep climb to touch 23-month high
  • India's Wholesale Price Index (WPI), the measure used to gauge inflation levels in certain economies and understand the price of goods, peaked to a 23-month high in July.

    The jump was said to be due to the increasing food prices in the market.

    The WPI touched 3.6 percent in July, more than double from June's figures of 1.62 percent.
