UK CPI Preview: Forecasts from four major banks, sharp decline in inflation

The United Kingdom will release the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on Wednesday, March 20 at 07:00 GMT and as we get closer to the release time, here are the forecasts by the economists and researchers of four major banks regarding the upcoming UK inflation print.

The annual headline inflation is forecast to have grown at a slower pace of 3.6% against 4.0% in January. In the same period, core inflation – which excludes volatile food and energy prices – is forecast to have decelerated to 4.6% from 5.1%. If so, headline would be the lowest since September 2021 but still well above the 2% target. 

TDS

We expect UK headline inflation to take another step down in February to 3.4% YoY, thus leaving it a touch below the Bank of England's forecast of 3.5% YoY. Core inflation will likely also fall quite a bit this month, we forecast a 0.6ppts decline to 4.5% YoY, which would be the lowest year-on-year rate since January 2022. We expect services inflation at 6.0%, 0.1ppts below the MPC's forecast. Our unrounded forecasts for headline/core are 3.43%/4.46%, so we see risks skewed to the upside for headline inflation but to the downside for core. Overall, barring any major surprises to this month's data, headline inflation is still set to fall below target in April and remain below target for the rest of the year.

Deutsche Bank

We expect a sizeable move lower, including the headline CPI slowing to 3.4% (vs. 4% in January) and core to 4.5% (5.1%).

SocGen

After a three-month period of core being stuck at 5.1%, we expect a sharp 0.6pp decline in February to 4.5% YoY, its lowest rate in two years. This decline should contribute to a 0.6pp fall in headline inflation to 3.4% YoY.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
