That's led to predictions that interest rates may not go up as much as feared.
The markets now expect them to peak no higher than 6% by end of the year - still an eye watering increase on a year or so ago.
The fall in inflation was driven by a sharp drop in the price of fuel. Food prices are still rising, but at a slower pace.
