UK inflation unexpectedly climbed to 3.6%, driven by rising fuel and food prices, marking a reversal from the recent downward trend. The surge, likely fueled by higher energy costs and ongoing supply chain issues, is straining household finances. This development challenges the Bank of England’s attempts to rein in inflation, as analysts had forecast a more gradual increase. The spike may also postpone expected interest rate reductions.
