Polymarket traders are pricing a 44% implied probability for U.K. annual CPI inflation exceeding 4.5% in 2026, closely trailed by 34.5% for the 4.0–4.4% band, reflecting competitive sentiment amid sticky price pressures. February 2026 CPI held steady at 3.0% year-over-year—unchanged from January and above Bank of England (BoE) expectations—driven by services inflation easing only marginally to 4.3% and volatility in oil and gas prices from escalating Middle East tensions, including the Iran conflict. This has tempered rate cut bets, with the BoE's March Monetary Policy Committee holding the base rate steady. Official forecasts like the OBR's 2.3% 2026 average contrast trader pessimism on persistent energy shocks and wage dynamics; March CPI data due April 22 could sway positioning ahead of May MPC.
