With inflation on the rise and rates fluctuating, making informed decisions has become more and more challenging. That’s where TraditionData comes in.

On Wednesday, 19th February, the UK’s latest inflation figures were released, revealing an unexpected jump from 2.5% to 3%, marking the highest level in 10 months. This is in stark contrast to September last year, where we saw CPI drop to 1.7% – its lowest in over three years, falling below the Bank of England’s (BoE) 2% target.

This week’s increase could impact the BoE’s decision to further cut interest rates, as they did at the start of February when rates were reduced from 4.75% to 4.5%.

Over the past 9 months, the 1Y GBP SONIA and 1Y UK CPI Inflation swap rates have seen sharp rises and falls in response to these economic shifts, as illustrated in the graph below.
