5:03Now PlayingUK inflation climbed to an 18-month high on the back of surging fuel, food and transport prices, putting the Bank of England under pressure to reconsider the pace of interest-rate cuts. Consumer prices rose 3.8% from a year earlier, up from 3.6% in June and the fastest pace since January 2024, the Office for National Statistics said Wednesday. The pickup was forecast by the BOE but exceeded the 3.7% economists expected. Money markets kept wagers on BOE interest-rate cuts broadly steady, seeing around a 40% chance of another reduction by year-end. A full quarter-point cut had been expected earlier this month.
Bloomberg's Chief UK Economist Dan Hanson joins Stephen Carroll and Anna Edwards to discuss.
