The UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September has decreased to 1.7% year-on-year, falling short of the expected 1.9%. Additionally, Core CPI declined to 3.2% year-on-year, down from the previous month’s 3.6% and below the anticipated 3.4%. This dip in CPI is below the Bank of England's (BoE) target of 2%, raising the likelihood of a rate cut at the upcoming BoE meeting. Following the disappointing UK CPI data, the probability of a rate cut has surged to 80%, which is viewed negatively for the Pound Sterling.
