What the expert says...

Current inflation rate sits at 2.6%
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) tracks the prices of hundreds of household items and monitors those changes over the past 12 months to calculate inflation.
The 12 month period in the lead up to November saw prices in the UK go up by 2.6% which is the highest since March 2024.
Betting odds shown above suggest there's a decent chance that the inflation rate rises above both 5% and 10% in 2025.
