UK Inflation Rate Will Impact GBP

UK Inflation Rate Will Impact GBP

What will happen?

The United Kingdom will publish the Inflation Rate on November 17, at 09:00 MT (GMT+2). It’s a significant indicator that reveals the change in the price of goods and services purchased by consumers during the previous month.

Why is it important?

The Bank of England will decide whether to raise the interest rate or not based on the inflation figures. These changes in the interest rate, in turn, impact the value of the British pound.

Last time, the UK inflation figures were worse than expected. As a result, GBP/USD dropped by 225 points in one hour after the release.
