The U.K. Still Has a Services-Inflation Problem

The U.K. Still Has a Services-Inflation Problem

U.K. inflation rose at its slowest pace in April since July 2021. Yields on U.K. government bonds, or gilts, rose, with the policy-sensitive 2-year gilt yield up more than 0.11 percentage point. The U.K. consumer-price index rose 2.3% in April from a year earlier, edging closer to the central bank's 2% target.
