UK inflation accelerated to 3.5% in September, as higher energy costs placed additional pressure on households. The increase has also strengthened expectations that interest rates could rise.
The latest movement in inflation highlights the effect of higher energy costs on household finances. Rising prices are adding to the financial burden facing households, although the available information does not provide further detail on the scale of the increase or its impact across different spending categories.
