FTSE 100 Live: Stocks to dip after oil spikes on Hormuz tensions

UK public inflation expectations fell in April, with short-term expectations dropping to 5% from 5.4% and long-term expectations easing to 4.2% from 4.5%. This decline, reported by YouGov for Citi, suggests less pressure for the Bank of England to adopt a hawkish policy. The report indicates that the previous spike in March was likely due to temporary factors related to the Iran war, and the current trend may continue downward if energy markets stabilize.

- In April, short-term and long-term inflation expectations among Britons unexpectedly declined, according to a YouGov survey for Citibank.  
- Short-term expectations fell from 5.4% in March to 5%, while long-term expectations decreased from 4.5% to 4.2%.  
- The report suggests that these figures do not provide a strong basis for a more hawkish policy from the Bank of England, as inflation expectations may stabilize with a more orderly recovery in energy markets.
