最新报道:UK inflation fell to 2.3% in June, hitting the Bank of England's target for the first time in nearly three years, according to official data. The drop from May's 2.5% was driven by lower food prices and slower service sector inflation. Economists had expected 2.4%. Core inflation, excluding volatile items, dipped to 3.5% from 3.9%. The figures ease pressure on the BOE to cut rates, though policymakers remain cautious about persistent wage growth and service costs. Markets now price in a 60% chance of a rate cut in August. The pound weakened slightly against the dollar following the release.
