Rising inflation makes a speedy interest rate cut less likely
Kate Andrews for The Spectator
Today's surprising rise in inflation "is not the update politicians and central bankers were hoping for, but as far as monthly data goes, it's not the end of the world either", writes Kate Andrews for The Spectator.

Josh Barrie for the i Paper
