UK diesel prices have hit a record £2 a litre, according to a rolling business live blog from The Guardian, as separate data showed eurozone inflation accelerating in September.
The eurozone's annual inflation rate rose further last month, with core inflation — which excludes energy, food, alcohol and tobacco — increasing to 2.5%, up from 2.4% in August.
Two pressures converge
The report brought together two separate economic developments: a record UK fuel price and rising eurozone inflation, both pointing to continued cost pressures across European economies. Further details on contributing factors were not included in the available excerpt.
