The latest UK CPI report came in line with market expectations, matching July’s inflation rate. The biggest upward pressure on prices continues to come from housing (6%), education (7.5%), communication services (6.1%) and food (5.1%). This was partially offset by slower price growth in transportation services—particularly airfares—as well as in restaurants and hotels.
A not-so-tragic reading did not trigger any excess volatiltiy in the GBPUSD, which corrected its previous hours' gains, while still holding above EMA30 on 1 hour interval.
