South Korea inflation climbs to 3.1%, fueling rate-hike speculation — 5hSouth Korea’s August inflation rebounded to 3.1%, lifted by a base effect from last year’s telecom discount and broadening core price gains as living-cost pressures persist, with food and service costs contributing to the upswing and potentially influencing the central bank’s policy stance.

Tom Gallagher Base effects aside, food and service prices climbing again means real relief for households isn't coming anytime soon.
