"We believe the improving inflation backdrop will give scope to the Bank of England to provide further stimulus to the economy," said Archer, who is predicting another 50 billion pounds stimulus in May. Meanwhile, James Knightley, analyst at ING Bank, said inflation could drop to 1 percent by year-end. "Inflation expectations tend to follow actual inflation and,http://wap.lh168.net/BBS/, given that the CPI appears to be heading sharply lower, we expect inflation expectations to do likewise," he said. "This should further limit the risk of above-target inflation becoming entrenched, with workers unlikely, and unable given rising unemployment, to push for larger pay rises."

By The Associated Press, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) The Associated Press is suing a digital news distributor,http://www.bazafirm.1mega.info/viewthread.php?tid=736958&extra=, claiming it infringed on AP copyrights. The complaint, filed Tuesday in New York federal court, alleges that Meltwater U.S. Holding Inc. and its Meltwater News Service have been illegally selling content created by the AP, a 166-year-old news cooperative that sells its services to newspapers, broadcasters and websites around the world.

The AP filed its complaint on the same day that a copyright tribunal in the United Kingdom ruled that Meltwater should pay licensing fees for distributing content in that nation, although the panel reduced the rates sought by the London-based Newspaper Licensing Agency.
