By WSJ Staff

U.K. bond yields and the pound fell after weaker-than-forecast inflation data that made the Bank of England look all but certain to cut interest rates tomorrow.

-- Britain's annual rate of inflation came in at 3.2% last month, the lowest since March and down from 3.6% in October. The data were released as Bank of England officials prepare to vote on rates, with a decision due Thursday.

-- The pound lost 0.7% against the dollar, and also weakened against the euro. Ten-year gilt yields touched a low of 4.4%, before edging up toward 4.47%.
