AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Household Costs: UK inflation rose to 3.5% in September, driven by fuel: petrol averaged 169.5p a litre and diesel 192.5p. Food prices edged down, but higher inflation has strengthened expectations of an interest rate rise. Banking Disruption: A Google Cloud outage disrupted payments and services at Revolut, Lloyds and HSBC. Revolut says customers’ funds and data remained safe; European regulators are seeking answers. Shopper Alerts: Warnings include a recall of potentially dangerous toys, contaminated beers sold at Home Bargains and flapjacks recalled over a health risk. Retail: Smyths, Tesco and Sainsbury’s have cut prices on more than 350 toys by up to 50% ahead of Christmas. Poundland’s Warminster shop is due to close on 21 November as the chain seeks a buyer. Payments: The UK competition watchdog is pressing Apple to open up iPhone contactless payment technology, which could give shoppers more ways to pay.
