Down from 4.4% to 4%.
Looks like the MPC was absolutely right to leave rates alone.
RPI down to 5.3% as well.

Exactly.
I'm starting to think we may not see one this year at all.
The system is self correcting. No need for demand destruction through monetary policy when it's already being destroyed by fiscal tightening.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

it would have inspired more confidence if the fall had been expected.0

I find 5% inflation unacceptable.0

The retail figures cannot possibly be responsible for the dip in CPI/RPI, as it has been stated categorically that all inflationary effects are external.Act in haste, repent at leisure.

It was expected, but just further down the line.
Is this a reflection of the impact of the government cuts and disposable income?:wall:
