  3. 'Not all indicators are pointing south'published at 10:27

    Adam Chester, head of economic research and market strategy at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, comments on the July CPI inflation figure: 

    Quote Message

    The surprise rise, especially in the core rate, has led to a knee-jerk spike higher in the pound and reaffirmed market expectations that UK interest rates could rise in the first half of 2016. The pound is trading nearly a cent higher against both the euro and US dollar, at around 1.4150 and 1.5650, respectively. While the Bank of England is unlikely to read too much into one month's data, the pickup in the core rate is a timely reminder that not all indicators of inflation are pointing south."

    The scale of the recent fall back in oil prices suggests that CPI inflation is still likely to turn negative again over the next few months. And while inflation should pick up at the very start of 2016 as the anniversary of the previous plunge in oil prices is reached, it still looks likely to remain well below the MPC’s 2% target next year."
