The Pound Sterling weakens against its major peers even though the United Kingdom (UK) Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for January showed that inflationary pressures accelerated at a faster-than-expected pace.
In the 12 months to January, the headline CPI rose by 3%, faster than estimates of 2.8% and the December reading of 2.5%. In the same period, the core CPI – which excludes volatile components of food, energy, alcohol, and tobacco – grew by 3.7%, as expected, faster than the former reading of 3.2%.
Month-on-month headline CPI inflation deflated at a slower-than-projected pace of 0.1%, compared to the 0.3% growth in December. Economists expected headline inflation to deflate at that pace this month.
Inflation in the services sector, which is closely tracked by Bank of England (BoE) officials, accelerated to 5% from 4.4% in December.
