Inflación cae al 2.8% en Reino Unido, pero se espera repunte.
  • **TITULAR PRINCIPAL**: Inflación cae al 2.8% en Reino Unido, pero se espera repunte.

  • **RESUMEN**: La inflación británica descendió al 2.8%, impulsada por menores precios energéticos gracias al paquete de apoyo gubernamental y la caída de los precios mayoristas previa al conflicto en Irán. Sin embargo, se anticipa un repunte futuro. En paralelo, el gobierno congeló el impuesto a los combustibles hasta fin de año y suavizó las sanciones al petróleo ruso ante el alza de precios por el bloqueo del Estrecho de Ormuz.

  • En el ámbito empresarial, los supermercados rechazan las presiones para topar precios de productos básicos, aunque el gobierno confirma que no habrá un control obligatorio. Además, una investigación de la BBC destapó una red de delincuencia vinculada a tiendas, lo que llevó a la creación de una nueva unidad contra el crimen en las calles principales. Por otro lado, el alcalde de Gran Mánchester busca calmar los mercados comprometiéndose con reglas fiscales.


    En el sector cripto, Bitcoin se mantiene por debajo de los $77,000, con un impulso bajista que lleva a los analistas a señalar un soporte clave en $74,000-$76,000. Los tenedores recientes han vendido más de 10,000 BTC con pérdidas, y los datos de futuros muestran que los compradores esperan precios por debajo de $70,000. A pesar de ello, un modelo de precios proyecta un objetivo "conservador" de $255,000 para fin de año.
