The retail prices index for October, released this morning shows inflation at 2.4%. This is up from 2.2% in September. The increase was less than expected by city analysts, due to increases in mortgage interest rates.
The underlying inflation rate, which excludes mortgage interest payments, remained unchanged at 2% for the second successive month.
