UK inflation: more Bank of England easing lies ahead

Commenting on this morning’s UK inflation data, Melanie Baker, senior economist at Royal London Asset Management said: 

“Inflation remains well below the BoE’s CPI target. There was nothing here to upset the case for more BoE policy easing at their November meeting.

"Most categories actually contributed negatively to the move in inflation in September. The upward effects on inflation in September were at least partly one-offs.”
