Inflation Up, No Rate Cuts On Horizon

Official figures for October put the rate of inflation at 2.1%, above the 2% target. This is mainly due to increasing fuel costs.

This means that a cut in interest rates is very unlikely before the spring, hitting mortgage payers hard. With fuel prices continuing to rise, it's unlikely that there will be a sudden change in the situation.
