Food prices rose 3.9% year-on-year, up from 3.3% in December, marking the largest increase since October last year. "Any claims that inflation has peaked are not supported by these figures," said BRC Chief Executive Dickinson.

Meat, fish, and fruit were particularly affected."BHP Billiton has surpassed Commonwealth Bank of Australia to become Australias most valuable stock.Chart: Speculative Sentiment Index on Tuesday, January 27, 2026
