BoE's Bailey said last week's inflation was roughly where they thought it would be. Good price inflation was lower than forecast possibly due to China. Service price inflation has not eased as much as predicted.

• Seeing some trade effects come through in good prices.
• Not seeing a particular uptick in redundancies. 

Bailey's remarks suggest that while inflation is tracking as expected, the lower-than-forecast good price inflation might stem from external factors like China, indicating a complex international influence on the UK economy. The lack of easing in service price inflation could maintain pressure on the BoE's policy path, signaling that their next actions may reflect the need to address persistent pricing pressures despite favorable developments in goods. This could keep the market vigilant regarding future rate movements, impacting GBP and broader market dynamics.
