英国通胀升至3.5%，强化加息预期
UK inflation jumps to 3.5% — cementing rate hike expectations
UK CPI rose by 3.5% year-on-year in September, higher than the expected 3.4%, the highest in a year, reinforcing expectations for the central bank to raise interest rates. Fuel prices rose 29.8% year-on-year, the highest since August 2022. Net energy import dependence makes the UK vulnerable to external energy shocks.
Higher-than-expected inflation in the UK strengthens interest rate hike expectations, which means that the sensitivity of the pound and UK bond yields to the path of monetary policy has increased, and traders need to pay attention to the central bank's subsequent policy signals. The sharp rise in fuel prices highlights the external impact brought about by dependence on net energy imports. This cost-push inflation may intensify concerns about stagflation, creating a complex game between the safe-haven properties of gold and the suppression of expectations for interest rate hikes.
