Tea and meat feed UK food price increases Yahoo Finance UK's Pedro Goncalves writes: UK families are paying more every time they go grocery shopping, as food price inflation surged for the sixth consecutive month in July, driven by a rise in the costs of meat and tea, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC). The figures show that food prices are now 4% higher than a year ago, up from 3.7% in June and surpassing the three-month average of 3.5%. Fresh food inflation remained steady at 3.2%, while ambient food prices saw a more significant jump, climbing to 5.1% compared to last June, up from 4.3% the previous month. Overall, shop price inflation also increased, rising to 0.7% in July, up from 0.4% in June, and above the three-month average of 0.3%. Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the BRC, warned that the increase in food price inflation will be felt by households across the country. 'Families will have seen their food bills increase as food price inflation rose for the sixth consecutive month," she said. "Staples such as meat and tea were hit the hardest as wholesale prices for both categories have been hit by tighter global supplies. This has helped push up overall shop prices."

The data from property site Rightmove (RMV.L) showed that new tenants are now paying an average of £417 more in monthly rent compared to 2020. This is a 44% increase in rents, well above the 36% rise in average earnings over the same period. Rightmove's property expert Colleen Babcock said: 'Despite another new record in average asking rents for tenants, the big picture is that yearly rent increases continue to slow, which is good news for tenants." "Supply and demand is slowly rebalancing towards more normal levels, though we still have a way to go before we reach pre-2020 levels of available homes for tenants. The good news is that the latest industry snapshot suggests more investors are taking out buy-to-let loans compared with last year, which should help to bring even more homes to the rental market.'

Barclays joins rival in cautioning against hiking bank taxes
The boss of Barclays has become the latest to caution the Chancellor against hiking taxes for banks in her autumn budget as she looks to bolster the public finances. Group chief executive CS Venkatakrishnan, who is also known as Venkat, said that increasing taxes for banks – or other important sectors of the economy – was not consistent with aims to boost economic growth. He said banks were already 'among the biggest tax payers in this country' and an important sector to help drive economic activity, with growth 'the primary objective for the UK'. 'There are many other important sectors. 'We want all those sectors to prosper,' he added. His comments come after Lloyds Banking Group chief executive Charlie Nunn said last week that raising taxes on banks would be at odds with the Government's pro-growth aims. There has been increasing speculation that Chancellor Rachel Reeves may look to raise taxes, with the banking sector rumoured to be among those potentially in the firing line, as she faces pressure over the UK's public finances following higher-than-expected Government borrowing and U-turns on some spending cuts. Venkat's comments came as the group revealed that half-year profits jumped by nearly a quarter thanks to an investment banking boost amid financial market volatility sparked by US President Donald Trump's tariff war. The high street lender reported a 23% rise in pre-tax profits to £5.2 billion for the six months to June 30. This came despite it booking credit impairment charges of £1.1 billion, up from £897 million a year earlier, after putting by another £469 million in the second quarter. The bank said the rise was largely due to its takeover of Tesco Bank and a more uncertain economic outlook, especially in the US. Its results were better than expected for the second quarter, with profits up 28% to £2.5 billion thanks to forecast-beating revenues in its investment banking arm amid market volatility. Income in its investment banking business lifted 10% to £3.3 billion in the second quarter. Venkat said: 'We remain on track to achieve the objectives of our three-year plan, delivering structurally higher and more stable returns for our investors.' Barclays unveiled more returns for investors, with plans for another £1 billion in share buybacks, and said it has cut around £350 million of costs out of the £500 million in savings planned for 2025.
