EU inflation eases, reinforcing the ECB’s decision to keep rates steady

Headline consumer-price inflation in the European Union eased to 2.1 per cent year-on-year from 2.2 per cent, while core inflation remained unchanged at 2.4 per cent.

BoE decides to keep interest rates unchanged; pound recovers

The Bank of England (BoE) elected to maintain Bank Rate at 4.00 per cent, a decision that reflected a narrowly divided Monetary Policy Committee.
