Longer-term expectations also increased to 4.1% from 3.7%, reaching their highest level since April. The rise came as the Bank of England monitored the risk that higher energy prices following the Iran war could translate into more persistent inflation pressures, though Citi cautioned against over-interpreting a single month’s reading. source: YouGov/Citigroup
