India’s wholesale price inflation (WPI) surged to a 42-month high of 8.3% YoY in April from 3.88% in March, driven largely by a sharp spike in fuel and power prices amid the ongoing West Asia crisis. Fuel inflation accelerated to 24.71% YoY versus 1.05% in the previous month, highlighting the growing impact of energy shocks on domestic prices.
Against this backdrop, India is stepping up efforts to strengthen domestic energy security.

The proposed overseas borrowings rose from $4.59 billion in February, indicating continued strong appetite for offshore funding amid improving global liquidity conditions.
Asian markets opened higher today following gains on Wall Street, as investors tracked the second day of high-stakes talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. KOSPI hit a record high amid regional gains, particularly in artificial intelligence stocks.
