Summary
But what does this mean for future base rate decisions - and then in turn, mortgage rates and savings rates.
This week, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost discuss the latest inflation figures and what the rest of the year has in store for the economy.
Meanwhile, experts predict a busier housing market this autumn - but what makes them so sure?
And watch out if you plan on taking your kids out of school during term time - you could face big fines, with the first change to the system since 2013.

We look at the supermarket winners and losers over the last decade - just how bad have things been for Asda.
And our reporter Angharad Carrick takes a visit to west London Tesco to test its new anti-shoplifting measures. Is it any good?
We also run the rule over Aliexpress... and the bargain items that are almost too good to be true...
