It's a fickle creature -the latest fallwas mainly the result of downward effects from air fares and petrol/deisel. It'll probably pick up again following the October energy price cap increase and as the effect of public sector and train driver pay settlements feed through, but let's hope it stays low and prompts an unterest rate cut. It'll be interesting to see whether the goverenment uses this figure to uprate benefits.
