BENGALURU (Reuters) - India’s retail inflation likely rose last month after a three-month low in April, lifted by higher food and energy prices, but stayed within the Reserve Bank of India’s target range for the sixth consecutive month, a Reuters poll found.

“In April, the retail prices of petroleum products were kept unchanged because of multiple state elections being held then, despite rising crude prices,” said Kunal Kundu, India economist at Societe Generale.
“But immediately thereafter, the retail prices were increased about seven times in May itself, which led to substantial shooting up of this inflation component.”
Bellator 260: Lima vs. Amosov Preview and Predictions
June 9, 2021
With plenty of stacked MMA events going on this weekend, Bellator MMA needed to assemble a fight card that would stand out. Well, mission accomplished. Bellator 260 looks to be one of the best promotional events of the year. The event includes welterweight kingpin Douglas Lima, who will defend his belt against Yaroslav Amosov, as well as rising star Aaron Pico, a potential “Fight of the Year” between Paul Daley and Jason Jackson, and eight other solid match-ups.
Since joining Bellator in 2011, Lima has fought some of the best fighters in promotional history. However, one fighter he has not fought happens to hold a perfect mark through 25 fights. That man is Amosov, who is set for his first Bellator title fight. Both competitors are willing to do whatever it takes to win, but only one can come out victorious.
India's central bank will likely keep interest rates at record lows this week as it assesses the economic fallout of the country's evolving COVID-19 crisis, but the monetary authority is expected to reiterate its commitment on liquidity.
