What it measures

This release measures annual UK consumer-price inflation excluding food, energy, alcohol and tobacco. It helps show underlying price pressure alongside headline CPI, which is measured against the BoE's 2% target over time.

Why it moves the GBP

Higher core inflation can support sterling by increasing the chance that the BoE keeps rates higher for longer; lower inflation can weaken it by strengthening the case for cuts. It is an important inflation gauge, especially when services prices remain firm.
