UK headline CPI climbed to 3.5% year-on-year in September. According to Danske Research Team, core and services inflation also moved higher, exceeding Bank of England projections. Given stronger inflation and resilient activity, the bank now forecasts a BoE rate hike in November to bolster the credibility of its inflation target.
"In the UK, September CPI inflation rose to 3.5% y/y from 3.1%, core inflation to 2.8% from 2.6% and services inflation to 3.7% from 3.4%."

"Slightly higher than consensus and above the Bank of England's (BoE) forecast."
"We are adjusting our BoE forecast to include a rate hike in November, as inflation concerns have risen and growth has strengthened."
"Activity has proven more resilient than expected in recent months and the labour market is showing signs of stabilisation."
"We believe the BoE will act to contain inflation risks and prioritise the credibility of its inflation target."
