In April, headline inflation rose by 0.3% (vs. 0.2% expected) and core inflation increased by 0.9% (vs. 0.7% expected), with annual inflation rates higher than anticipated but still lower than in March due to energy regulator's 12% reduction in the energy price cap starting April. Despite the uncertainty of this impact, traders may view the situation as indicating persistent inflation, especially with annual services inflation at 5.9% (vs. 5.5% expected).
At the time of the report's release, GBPUSD surged significantly, and the gains are not being reduced shortly after the release, suggesting a strong market surprise.
