UK Inflation Hits Bank of England's 2% Target, Boosting Hopes of Interest Rate Cut =============== #79a8b667 ver:0.23 UK inflation hits Bank of England's 2% target for the first time in three years, boosting hopes of an interest rate cut. Inflation dropped to 2% in May, down from 2.3% in April, in line with expectations. While interest rates are not expected to be cut at the next meeting, the data increases hopes of a reduction in borrowing costs in August. However, some argue that people are still worse off despite the drop in inflation. The Bank of England may take a slow and cautious approach to rate cuts as the UK economy recovers from the pandemic. #UKinflation #interestrates #BankofEngland... #newstr #UkInflation #BankOfEngland #InterestRates #GeneralElection #ConservativeParty https://here.news/story/79a8b667?ver=0.23
