BRC OCT SHOP PRICE INDEX +0.3% M/M VS -0.1% M/M SEP
UK annual shop prices fell again in Oct, although at a slower pace than in the previous month. The BRC shop price index dropped by 1.2% y/y, registering above the 6-mo avg of -1.6% but below the 1-year avg of -1.1%. While food inflation remained unchanged at 1.2% y/y, non-food prices eased at a slightly slower pace of 2.7% in Oct.
