1. UK Shop Prices Rise Fastest Since 2024 Ahead of Budget
-- British Retail Consortium figures showed shop price inflation accelerating to 2.1% year on year in October from 1.4% in September, with food inflation at 2.9%, as retailers began passing on higher energy and ingredient costs dating to the Middle East conflict.
-- Retailers had absorbed those costs while demand was weak, and the cushion is expiring days before Wednesday's budget and an expected Bank of England rate rise next week, with consumer prices already up 3.5% and Brent having touched $117 this month against a $70 prewar average.
