Money Minute Wednesday 15 January: UK inflation and house prices

In today’s Money Minute, we look ahead to the latest UK inflation and house price figures, plus we have Germany’s GDP data for 2019.

Good morning and welcome to Money Minute, where we preview the day’s biggest financial stories. In the UK, we get consumer price inflation data for December. Analysts expect the headline figure to come in at just 1.5%. That’s well below the Bank of England target of 2%. This helps to explain why the UK’s central bank suddenly sounds quite keen to cut interest rates from their already low level of 0.75%.
