As the source gives it

What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: A beat can support sterling as markets see underlying inflation as harder to bring down and price a tighter BoE path.

Below the forecast: A miss can weigh on sterling if it suggests core price pressures are easing and the BoE has more room to cut.

In line with the forecast: Sterling usually reacts little unless headline or services CPI changes the overall interpretation.
