09:11 AM EDT, 07/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- June inflation should come with few surprises in the United Kingdom, said Deutsche Bank.

After a pullback in headline inflation over May, the bank sees inflation rates edging a little higher in June, commencing its ascent over summer.

Deutsche Bank predicts headline consumer price index pushing to 3.48% year over year from 3.36% in May. Core CPI, the bank expects, will stay at 3.5% year over year. Services CPI is projected to move lower to 4.59% year over year, versus 4.68% in May.

For the retail price index (RPI), Deutsche Bank estimates price momentum staying broadly unchanged at 4.32% year over year.

Looking ahead, upward pressures are likely to push annual inflation higher through the year, it added. The bank sees headline CPI peaking at 3.8% year over year, before slowing through 2026.

Deutsche Bank's forecasts for this year and 2026 remain broadly unchanged, with headline CPI tracking at 3.3% year over year this year and slowing to 2.4% year over year next year.

For RPI, it sees price momentum moving from 4.1% year over year this year to 3.4% year over year in 2026. Risks, in the bank's view, are balanced.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
