What it measures

This is the annual change in the UK's headline consumer price index. The Bank of England's target is 2% inflation over time, so readings above or below that level help shape expectations for interest rates.

Why it moves the GBP

A higher-than-expected result can support sterling by making the BoE less likely to cut rates quickly; a lower reading can weaken it by bringing cuts closer. UK CPI is one of the pound's most important scheduled data releases, particularly when services inflation is sticky.
