what happened
According to TradingView, citing RTT News/dpa-AFX, the British Retail Consortium shop price index climbed 0.4% month on month in October, after a 0.1% gain in September.
On an annual basis the index reached 2.1%, up from 1.4% a month earlier, so the pace of retail price growth picked up noticeably.
why it matters
A faster rise in retail prices points to firmer price pressure in the UK economy, which matters for expectations on Bank of England interest rates and for the pound.
