Key drivers

  • May CPI annual rate held at 2.8% after April's fall
  • June 2025 base month had CPI index 138.9 and 0.3% monthly inflation
  • May 2026 CPI index was 142.4, so a normal June monthly rise implies about 2.8% to 3.0% annual inflation
  • Services inflation rose to 3.7% and transport inflation to 6.8%, adding upside pressure
  • Food, household services, and goods inflation were easing, limiting the upside

Resolution

source
Office for National Statistics, Consumer price inflation, UK: May 2026
expected

rule
Resolve according to the registered ledger target: use the first ONS-published CPI all-items 12-month rate tied to dataPointId ons.cpi.annual_rate.june_2026.first_print, in percent rounded to one decimal place, with first-print policy and no later revisions. The registered sourceBinding points to the May 2026 CPI bulletin and field official_release:ons:cpi:2026-05:cpi_annual_rate despite the June 2026 target identity; this forecast preserves the ledger resolver fields and states the apparent May/June discrepancy for audit.
