UK inflation data for September
- Consumer Price Index (CPI) (m/m) (September), fact 0.1%, forecast 0.2%.
- Consumer Price Index (CPI) (y/y) (September), fact 2.4%, forecast 2.6%.
- Purchasing producer price index (m/m) (September), fact 1.3%, forecast 0.9%.
An inflation report in the UK for September turned out to be quite ambiguous. Of particular concern was the slowdown in the CPI on an annualized basis, which, after attempts at growth, returned to the year’s low, thereby indicating the limitations of this indicator.

As a result, the British pound accelerated the decline, remaining in uncertainty while waiting for information about the Brexit negotiations. Significant resistance for the pair GBP/USD are the marks: 1.3150-30 and 1.3100.
