UK Inflation: Pressure on consumers eases while chances of a ‘stickier’ inflation rises

Videos
Inflation has fallen out of double digits for the first time since last summer – down from 10.1% in March to 8.7% in April.

Finally, the cost of living crisis – or rather the rate at which the crisis is worsening – is beginning to abate.

However, core inflation, measuring the rate of price changes stripped of fuel and food prices, rose from 6.2% to 6.8%, the highest level in three decades, suggesting there’s a chance inflation is becoming embedded in the economy.
