what happened
UK services consumer prices rose 3.72% year on year in September, according to TradingView citing RTT News/dpa-AFX. The median analyst forecast was 3.7%, while the Bank of England's estimate was 3.59%.
In August the figure stood at 3.4% to 3.45%, depending on the report. Services inflation therefore came in slightly above the central bank's expectations and picked up from the previous month.
why it matters
Services is the stickiest part of inflation and a component the Bank of England watches closely. A reading above the regulator's forecast could strengthen expectations of tighter monetary policy, which matters for sterling, UK gilts and the FTSE 100.
