Analysts see surprise jump in UK inflation as clothing retailers cut down on seasonal discounts. Consumer price inflation rose 2.6 per cent from 2.4 per cent in June, in an unexpected turn for economists who had forecast a fall. The Office for National Statistics attributed the jump to a rise in airfares (growing 21.7 per cent month-on-month), housing costs and less discounting by retailers in the wake of bad weather.
