Lot of noises were made and headlines filled after UK moved into deflation as measured by annual change in CPI moved into deflationary zone in April for the first time since sixties.
Today's inflationary data indicated UK is out of deflation. CPI grew by 0.1% in May from a year ago. It is way too early to say that inflation stands ready to reverse. Last time Britain has deflation was in 1960, price dropped by -0.6%.
Data, despite jump back to inflationary territories continue to show that disinflationary pressure still remains at large in UK.
- Consumer price index is barely rising at 0.1% from a year ago.
- Producers' cost of input is still going down at considerable pace, which means overall cost pressure to remain subdued.

Pound is currently trading at 1.556, under pressure since the inflation release.
