UK inflation falls sharply as fuel prices dropUK inflation has fallen to its lowest level for more than two years, driven largely by a drop in fuel prices.Prices rose by 3.9% in the year to November, down from 4.6% in October.Slowing price rises for food, including staples such as pasta, milk and butter, as well as for household goods were also behind the fall.But while inflation, which is the rate prices rise at, is now well down from its peak in 2022, it is still almost double the Bank of England's 2% target.Falling inflation also does not mean most goods and services are cheaper, but rather prices are rising less quickly.
