Inflation spikes to 9.44% on fuel price hike
India's annual inflation surged in June from the previous month after the Government allowed state-run oil companies to hike the prices of diesel, LPG and kerosene for the first time in a year, data released by the Government showed.

The Government revised upwards inflation rate for April to 9.74% from the provisional reading of 8.66%. The official WPI for ‘All Commodities’ for June rose by 0.9% to 153.0 from 151.7 in the previous month. Annual inflation was at 10.25% during the corresponding month of the previous year. Build up inflation in the financial year so far (April-June) was 2.34% compared to a build up of 2.57% in the corresponding period of the previous year.

Gold posts positive returns in Q2 2011, while commodities suffer major price correction.

In addition, gold’s low average volatility of 13.4% for the quarter is well below its long-term 20-year average of 15.8%. Juan Carlos Artigas, Investment Research Manager at the World Gold Council, commented: "While commodities exhibited heightened levels of volatility and sharp falls in price during the month of May, gold’s volatility was modest and its price remained stable.
