, official data showed Wednesday. Consumer prices rose 7.9% last month compared with a year ago, down from 8.7% in May, the Office for National Statistics said. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast an increase of 8.2%. “Inflation slowed substantially … driven by drops for motor fuels,” ONS chief economist Grant Fitzner said in a statement. Core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy costs and is a better gauge of the underlying trend in prices, came in at 6.9%, down from 7.
3% during the March to May quarter compared with a year ago, marking one of the highest growth rates since records began in 2001. “While the Bank of England will welcome the fall in inflation, it is unlikely to substantially change its hawkish policy stance,” said KPMG chief economist Yael Selfin.
