The UK's inflation rate dropped to 3.4% in February, marking its lowest level in two and a half years, down from 4% in January. This decline is anticipated to positively impact Chancellor Rishi Sunak's efforts to curb inflation. Speculation arises regarding a potential interest rate cut by the Bank of England in the summer amidst the easing inflationary pressure. Economists' predictions were slightly exceeded, with the actual inflation rate lower than expected at 3.5%. Investors anticipate further declines in inflation due to factors like reduced natural gas prices and slower food price rises. Despite the fall in inflation, the Bank of England is expected to maintain the base interest rate at 5.25%, aiming to align with its 2% inflation target. A year-on-year comparison reveals a significant drop from February 2023's inflation rate of 10.1%, highlighting notable volatility.
