UK services inflation has dropped below 5% for the first time since May 2022, signaling potential rate cuts from the Bank of England. The BoE had anticipated a higher figure of 5.5% for September, but the actual rate came in at 4.9%, influenced by falling air fares. This trend suggests a genuine decline in inflation persistence, with expectations for further cuts beyond November, potentially reaching 3.25% by next summer, despite a likely rise in headline inflation due to stabilizing natural gas prices.

UBS has been criticized by the Swiss financial supervisory authority, Finma, for its inadequate emergency plans following its takeover of Credit Suisse.

This revision could incur costs in the hundreds of millions and impact profitability and dividend policies, but UBS is cooperating with authorities and views the review as a chance to enhance its resilience.
