Policy pulse

The 3.8% YoY print for January 2026 remains above the Bank of England's 2% inflation target, but the gap has narrowed from last autumn's peak readings.

Market lens

Markets showed limited response to the steady RPI figure. Gilt yields held near recent lows, while GBP/USD traded in a tight range as investors digested the ongoing disinflation trend.

Foundational Indicators

Historical context

January's 3.8% YoY RPI matches December's level, down from 4.2% in November and 4.3% in June 2025. The 12-month average stands at 4.3%.

Recent trend

The RPI peaked at 4.8% in August 2025 before declining for five of the past six months. April 2025 marked the lowest point in the period at 3.2%.

Comparative figures

- January 2026: 3.8% - December 2025: 3.8% - November 2025: 4.2% - August 2025: 4.8% - April 2025: 3.2%

Chart Dynamics

January's RPI YoY reading held at 3.8%, matching December and down from 4.2% in November. The 12-month average sits at 4.3%, underscoring a clear downward trajectory since last summer. The indicator has now fallen by 1.0 percentage point from its August 2025 high.

The pace of disinflation has slowed, with the last two months showing no change. However, the index remains well below the 4.8% peak seen six months ago.

Retail Price Index YoY trend (April 2025–January 2026)

What This Chart Tells Us: The RPI YoY trend since mid-2025 highlights a persistent, if gradual, disinflation. The index has retreated from multi-year highs, but the latest readings suggest a pause in the pace of improvement. This stabilization may signal a new baseline for retail price growth in the UK.

Forward Outlook

Scenario analysis

Bullish (20–30%): RPI dips below 3.5% by spring if energy and food costs ease further.
Base case (50–60%): RPI remains between 3.5% and 4.0% through Q1 as disinflation slows.
Bearish (15–25%): RPI rebounds above 4.0% if supply shocks or wage pressures re-emerge.

Risks and catalysts

Upside risks include renewed commodity volatility and persistent services inflation. Downside risks stem from weak consumer demand and falling import prices.

Methodology

The RPI is compiled monthly by the UK Office for National Statistics, tracking the change in retail prices for a fixed basket of goods and services. Data is seasonally adjusted and reported on a year-over-year basis[1].

Closing Thoughts

Market lens

Gilt and currency markets remain focused on the persistence of disinflation. The steady RPI print has not shifted expectations for near-term monetary policy, but traders are alert to any renewed price pressures in the months ahead.

Policy pulse

With the RPI still above the Bank of England's target, policymakers are likely to maintain a cautious stance. The trend toward lower inflation, however, is clear compared to the previous six months.
