UK Inflation 1.5% YoY<\/h2>\n

The Pound is trending higher on Tuesday, clawing back losses from earlier in the week. Reports that British covid-19 vaccine trials will start tomorrow has helped lift the pound on Wednesday, overshadowing the latest coronavirus statistics. Coronavirus daily fatalities are back over 800, taking the total death toll past 17,000.<\/p>\n

Data from the Office of National Statistics was also supportive of the pound. The ONS reported that UK inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, increased by 1.5% year on year. Whilst this was down from February\u2019s 1.7%, it was in line with expectations. A sharp drop in the price of fuel and clothing items has driven the change in inflation.<\/p>\n

Core inflation which, removes more volatile items such as food and fuel slipped to 1.6% in March, down from 1.7% the previous month. \u00a0Meanwhile, other inflation measures revealed by the ONS surprised to the upside, lifting the Pound.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead there is no more UK data investors will look ahead to the Government\u2019s daily press conference for further clues over how and when the UK will ease out of lock down.<\/p>\n
