Escalating Middle East conflict, particularly the Iran war, has driven sharp energy price surges, anchoring Polymarket trader consensus toward elevated U.K. annual CPI inflation for 2026, with 4.5%+ at 41.5% narrowly leading 4.0-4.4% at 35.0%. February 2026 CPI held steady at 3.0%, but businesses and public inflation expectations have spiked to around 4.5%, prompting the Bank of England to hold Bank Rate at 3.75% in March amid higher-than-forecast pressures. Persistent services inflation and wage growth differentiate upside risks, while potential de-escalation could favor sub-4% outcomes; watch March CPI release on April 22 for near-term swings ahead of the April 30 MPC meeting.
