This puts inflation in the UK as the highest among major advanced economies. The Bank of England forecasts that it will reach 4% in September.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of sticky inflation, the Bank of England is not expected to cut interest rates again until February next year.<\/p>\n<p>The EUR is falling lower with political developments in France in focus as Prime Minister Francois Bayrou battles to save his minority government ahead of a vote of no confidence on September 8<sup>th<\/sup>.
