Inflation set to peak
Rate-setters at the Bank of England will hope that Tuesday's inflation figures mark the peak in the spiralling cost of living seen this year.
Inflation was driven upwards to 4.7% in August by rising oil, food and energy prices to stand at more than double the Bank's official 2% target.
Investec economist Philip Shaw said he expects September's inflation figure to jump to 5.2% before falling back.
