Bank of England: Danske Bank adds November hike as UK inflation holds firm

UK headline CPI reached 3.5% year-on-year in September, according to Danske Research Team, while core and services inflation also edged up, exceeding Bank of England projections. With inflation stronger and activity proving resilient, the bank has revised its forecast and now expects a BoE rate rise in November to bolster the credibility of its inflation target.
