India, Oct. 21 -- UK consumer price inflation strengthened more than expected in September as the Middle East conflict kept motor fuel prices high, reinforcing expectations for Bank of England rate hike next month.
Consumer prices registered an annual growth of 3.5 percent after rising 3.1 percent in August, the Office for National Statistics said Wednesday. The rate was the highest since last October and also came in above forecast of 3.4 percent.
