New inflation figures indicate a rise in consumer prices following the outbreak of war in the Middle East. James Smith highlights that CPI inflation reached 3.3 percent in March, up from 3.0 percent in February, with petrol price increases as the key driver.
Smith also cautions that further inflation increases are likely in the coming months. A thread exploring possible future trends is expected to follow.
Smith previously reported that UK CPI inflation held at 3 percent in February. His earlier coverage noted a focus on future inflation trends and cost of living pressures. The latest data suggest a shift in the inflation trajectory since that report.
