Looks like another good day coming, FTSE 100 futures are up
The rate of inflation fell to 6.7% in August, from 6.8% in July
Economists had expected the figure to increase due to rising fuel prices
It means overall prices are still rising - but the rate of increase is falling
Core inflation - which excludes energy, food, alcohol and tobacco - also fell, to 6.2%
