UK inflation is expected to come in at 3.5% on Wednesday - down from 4%.Although forecasts have been wrong consistently for more than a year, in recent months they've not been too far off - and the narrative for some time now has been that inflation would start to fall again come February .A survey of economists by Bloomberg came up with the 3.5% forecast.
