Service Producer Price Indices track quarterly price movements across financial, transport, telecom and insurance services using sub-service weights.
Service Producer Price Indices based on 2022-23 set out provisional first-quarter estimates for FY 2026-27 and final fourth-quarter estimates for FY 2025-26 across financial, insurance, telecom, railway and air-passenger services. Latest quarterly data show negative year-on-year inflation for securities transaction and banking services, while banking service contribution, pension-fund management, insurance, telecom and railway services record positive inflation. Aggregate weights are not assigned because the covered services do not represent the entire service sector; sub-service weights are used to derive service-level PPIs.

The USD/INR pair traded within a narrow range amid a stronger dollar index, weak domestic equity markets, importer demand, crude-oil concerns and geopolitical uncertainty. Market commentary indicated a slight negative bias for the rupee, although possible US-dollar weakness could provide support at lower levels.

Five-day banking and uniform performance incentives drive proposed bank union action over unresolved pension and employment demands.
Banking labour relations are affected by proposed nationwide industrial action over five-day banking, performance-linked incentives, and pension-related demands. Five-day banking remains pending despite a bipartite arrangement for extended weekday hours. Unions dispute an incentive scheme that differentiates awards by seniority and individual performance, contending that it departs from bank-level performance linkage and uniformity across cadres. They also allege that implementation during pending conciliation breaches a status quo obligation, while pension revision, uniform dearness allowance, and a pension-scheme switch option remain unresolved.

Political targeting allegations challenge money-laundering enforcement actions, searches, questioning, and public disclosures in the CMRL investigation.
CPI(M) alleges that enforcement action under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in the CMRL matter is politically motivated targeting of Pinarayi Vijayan, family members and party associates. It contends that searches, questioning and public communications during the investigation were used to create suspicion without incriminating evidence, and characterises references to hawala as a new investigative narrative. The party also alleges selective anti-money-laundering enforcement against opposition leaders and states that the company will address the CMRL-related matter.

Voluntary production curtailment addresses polyester yarn cost volatility as weaving units seek customs-duty relief on inputs.
Voluntary production curtailment by weaving units is being adopted in response to increased polyester yarn and related input costs. Units may reduce shifts or observe periodic holidays according to individual commercial feasibility to limit yarn consumption until prices and fabric-market conditions stabilise.

Retaliatory tariffs escalate trade restrictions as historic tariff authority enables duties without prior investigation or a prescribed duration.
Retaliatory tariffs are set to escalate bilateral trade restrictions after the United States imposed tariffs of up to 50 per cent on specified Canadian imports. Canada proposes dollar-for-dollar countermeasures covering sectors including steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper and electronics. Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 is invoked as the legal basis for the United States measures, permitting presidential import duties up to 50 per cent without a prior investigation or prescribed maximum duration. Escalation creates uncertainty for supply chains and renewal of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Reciprocal tariffs reshape Canada-United States trade relations, increasing supply-chain risks and accelerating Canadian trade diversification beyond its primary export market.
Canada-United States trade relations are described as entering a confrontational phase after tariff negotiations collapsed. The United States imposed tariffs on specified Canadian goods, while Canada committed to reciprocal import taxes and suspended negotiations. The dispute marks a retreat from preferential market access and continental integration. Canada's export dependence on the United States may limit retaliation and increase risks to output, employment, investment and integrated supply chains. Trade diversification, non-United States investment and expanded Pacific export infrastructure are identified as responses to a potentially enduring protectionist bilateral relationship.

Retaliatory tariffs on United States goods will target key sectors after trade negotiations failed and reciprocal tariff relief was unavailable.
Retaliatory tariffs on United States goods will take effect from 8 September in response to United States tariffs on Canadian products and unsuccessful negotiations. The dollar-for-dollar measures will cover steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics, with product-specific details to follow. Canada had been willing to remove certain retaliatory tariffs if corresponding United States tariffs were substantially reduced, but considered the final demands unacceptable.
