Inflation latest: Cost of living expected to rise again in key figures released today – UK Times

Some experts say an “Oasis bump” could have contributed to higher accommodation prices in July.

The band began a reunion tour last month, appearing live for the first time since 2009.

Tickets sold out at all UK venues, causing local spikes in demand for hotel rooms.

UK inflation is thought to have edged higher last month to 3.7 per cent.

It would mark the sixth month in a row that consumer prices will have risen.

They went up by 3.6 per cent in June, an acceleration from 3.4 percent in May.

Food prices continued to climb and summer spending pushed up flight and hotel costs in July, analysts say.
