Inflation slows to 3.4% but no Bank of England rate cut expected
Inflation eased to an annual rate of 3.4% in May, according to official figures released this morning, but the Bank of England is still widely expected to leave interest rates on hold.
The Bank of England has cut the interest rate for the fifth time in a year to 4% but warned that climbing food prices will cause inflation to jump higher in 2025.
The Bank of England has announced it is scaling back the rate at which it is selling bonds into the financial market as part of its quantitative tightening programme.
