"Inflation data for September was released yesterday and the headline fell marginally to provide a little relief to the Bank of England. The consumer price index fell from 3.2% year on year to 3.1%. While a single piece of data won't have too much effect on the Bank's plans, every journey starts with a single step. Factory gate prices as depicted by producer price data, continue to rise, climbing from 11.2% to 11.4% over the same period. While the country continues to face major bottlenecks in the logistics sector, exacerbated by the shortage of HGV drivers, inflation is unlikely to fall back below 3% in the short to medium-term. The country appears to be slipping back towards a fourth Coronavirus lockdown as, yet again, the Government is seen to dither over making the decision.
