About Core CPI MoM — United Kingdom
DEFINITION
UK Core CPI MoM rose 0.20% in July, beating the 0.10% estimate and down from June’s 0.30%. The slower monthly increase signals easing inflationary pressures but still reflects ongoing price growth. Markets will watch upcoming data for further signs of inflation trends amid steady Bank of England policy. Updated 8/19/26
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Inflation prints feed directly into central-bank policy expectations and real-yield calculations, and are among the most rate-sensitive releases on the calendar. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Jul 2026): actual 0.2 %, consensus 0.1 %.
