The Bank of England warned that UK inflation could climb to 6.2% if the Middle East conflict escalates, well above its 2% target. The central bank tied the upside risk to energy and trade disruption from a wider regional war. The warning matters because it could delay expected interest-rate cuts and raise borrowing costs for households and businesses. Investors will watch oil prices and the bank's next policy meeting for signals on how long rates stay restrictive.
