FTSE 100 posts best week in six months

A better than expected UK inflation report propelled the FTSE 100 to its best week since January. Elsewhere, performance amongst international stock markets was mixed as investors await this week’s interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of Japan.

The Office for National Statistics revealed on Wednesday that annual UK consumer price inflation slowed to 7.9% in June, down from 8.7% in May, in a large part due to falling petrol and diesel costs. Food and non-alcohol price inflation slowed to 17.3%.

The core inflation rate, which excludes more volatile items such as food and energy, also slowed more than expected to 6.9%. Although headline inflation is running at four times the Bank of England’s 2% target rate, the report provides some hope that than painful interest rate hiking cycle is now making an impact and inflation is trending in the right direction.
