The core figure of CPI excluding food and energy has shown rising in October by 2.7% as the same as September too while the consensus was referring to increasing by 2.8%.
The inflation pressure over the producing level was lower than expected and shocking too, as UK PPI Input prices rose year on year by only 4.6% in October, while the market was waiting for 4.8% rising after soaring by 8.4% in September has been revised down to 8.1% only.

The sterling has been already depressed since the beginning of this week by the rising political uncertainty in UK which has been triggered by 40 Conservative lawmakers' decision to sign a letter for withdrawing the confidence in May who can face next leadership challenge.
After May's shocking calling for snap parliament elections on last Jun. 8 three years early before its regular time which ended to losing of her party overall majority in the Parliament.
May was underestimating the opposition against her party and current political stance in UK following the departure referendum, while she was looking for voting to cruise to strong victory can give her a mandate to move Britain through expected long and difficult negotiations over the terms of leaving EU with the other European leaders.
The political concerns which resurfaced again following uprising against May inside her party can keep the pressure on the pound versus its rival currencies while the markets are pricing now on harder Brexit can erode the economic recovery in UK.

The next event for GBP would be the official address about the monetary policy outlook in UK next Thursday, after The MPC decision to raise the interest rate by 0.25% on the second day of this November for the first time since the credit crisis.
