The Zhitong Finance App learned that, driven by falling gasoline prices, the UK inflation rate unexpectedly fell to its lowest level in more than a year. According to data released by the UK Office for National Statistics on Wednesday, the UK consumer price index (CPI) rose 2.6% year on year in June, the lowest level since March last year. It is lower than the 2.8% year-on-year increase in May, and lower than the 2.7% average forecast of economists.
