Inflation on the rise again

Inflation has risen following a decent downward run. What does this mean for prices and, more importantly, for mortgage holders regarding interest rates?

Inflation falls to 2%, will interest rates follow?

Inflation falls to 2%, back in line with normal levels.

Inflation returns to 'normal' at 2.3%

Inflation returns to a more normal level of 2.3% close to being within the target of 2%.

Inflation falls sharply to 4.6%

Inflation has come down quite significantly but that does not mean it's good news for interest rates falling anytime in the very near future.

Inflation drops to 6.7%

The latest inflation figures were released today by the Office of National Statistics. There is good news but the expectation is that when the Monetary Policy Committee meets tomorrow interest rates will still increase.

Inflation down nearly 1%

Inflation has fallen again, down 0.9% on last period brought on mainly due to falling energy bills. It's not all good news though as the underlying trend is that inflation is increasing. It's a cautious but welcome improvement though.
