The financial website Forexlive commented on the UK CPI data: the overall data was in line with expectations, reflecting a sharp drop in UK household energy spending in July. But it’s all about the core data, which was more stubbornly unchanged at 6.9% y/y – similar to June. On a sub-item basis, food price inflation also cooled further, falling to 14.9% y/y (from 17.4% previously). But inflation in the services sector remained stubborn, rising to 6.5 percent in July from 6.3 percent in June.

The core CPI monthly rate in July was 0.3%, expected 0.2%, and the previous value was 0.2%.
