Original: UK inflation jumps to 3.5% — cementing rate hike expectations
UK inflation has climbed to 3.5%, according to a CNBC report, strengthening expectations that the Bank of England will raise interest rates. The figure points to persistent price pressure in the British economy, and markets are now pricing in a tighter monetary policy response. Commentators are watching for how the central bank balances inflation control against risks to growth.
Why now: The higher-than-hoped inflation print directly affects the outlook for Bank of England interest rate decisions.
