12:17 AM EDT, 10/27/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The UK's shop price inflation grew to 2.1% year over year in October from 1.4% in the previous month, a survey by the British Retail Consortium showed Tuesday. The latest reading, which exceeded the consensus estimate of 1.6%, marks the highest in two and a half years. BRC noted higher food prices, particularly in ambient groceries, alongside a rise in non-food prices amid elevated energy and transport costs.
