Despite the slowdown in the growth of weekly food Inflation numbers, but the wholesale price inflation which quickened in June to an annual 9.44 percent from 9.06 percent in the month of May could prompt India's central bank to raise its key policy rate by a further 25 basis points next week . The street also expects that RBI before pausing its long tightening campaign would hike rates once more by the end of the year.
