Figures released this morning showed inflation jumped to 3.5% in the year to April, driven largely by increases in household bills, energy costs, airfares and council tax.
The jump was greater than economists had predicted, though it's worth bearing in mind that the Bank of England has previously said it expects inflation to peak at 3.7% between July and September before dropping back to its 2% target.
