U.K. CPI Data May Create 25+ PIP Movement

U.K. CPI & Core CPI Data

U.K. is going to publish CPI as well as core CPI data around 0600 GMT/1130 IST. Consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate. Along with CPI data, U.K. will also release PPI input, PPI output and RPI data. If actual data releases higher than expected, GBP will appreciate against major peers.

Let’s see how GBP has reacted during the previous data release:
