"A former rate setter at the Bank, the economist Andrew Sentance, even said it would be "irresponsible" for interest rates to be cut next month.

Expectations remain that the cut in August and another one later in the year will go ahead.

But the Bank will have to explain why it is looking beyond this current rise in inflation, into next year's expected drop-back to the 2% target.

It will mean the return of old questions around whether the UK is more inflation-prone than other countries, for example because of increasing wage and tax costs being passed on in the form of higher prices.

A weakening jobs market is another part of the deliberations. The latest employment figures will be published on Thursday.".......................

"US markets return after their long weekend, but the calendar remains relatively sparse on both the corporate and economic fronts. An Australian rate decision and Chinese inflation are the main economic events, while UK oil giant Shell reports quarter one (Q1) figures. However, the chief focus is likely to be the return of tariffs, especially now President Trump has said that he prefers imposing tariffs to negotiating trade deals."..........gla
