Key Quotes:
“Clothing and footwear, alcohol and tobacco, and personal care/insurance each took around 0.1pp off CPI inflation in March. We see inflation remaining at 2.5% despite those moves partly reversing and petrol prices rising. A 0.9pp wedge means a small rise in RPI inflation from 3.3% to 3.4%.”
