What happened
A research report by Union Bank of India stated that the Reserve Bank of India might raise interest rates before its next scheduled policy meeting in December. This possibility is driven by rising inflation and pressure on the rupee in India. The report noted that wholesale inflation reached 11.39 per cent in September, surpassing forecasts. Union Bank of India suggested the central bank could raise rates by 50 basis points in December, with an inter-meeting hike also possible.

Why it matters
