UK Inflation Hits 3.3% as Fuel Shock Threatens Higher Bills and BoE Rate Cuts

Inflation in Britain climbed to 3.3% in March, up from 3.0% the month before—marking the first time official data pointed to the Iran conflict and pricier energy filtering through to consumer prices. The result, matching economists’ median forecast from a Reuters poll, has upped the stakes for the Bank of England and Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

US Inflation Shock Explained: Why Fed Rate-Cut Hopes Are Fading After March CPI Hit 3.3%

UPDATE April 15, 2026, 22:30 - U.S. inflation is picking up steam well past March’s 3.3% CPI jump, driven by higher oil prices linked to the Iran conflict, analysts note. Those cost increases are making their way into imports and rippling through broader price indexes. Import prices climbed again last month, and with April shaping up much the same, there’s talk the Fed could pause on rate cuts—or even lean toward tightening—if these price gains keep sticking around. Traders have already walked back expectations for Fed easing as energy costs work their way into everything from transportation to housing and everyday consumer items.
