Image source, Getty Images Annual energy bills for a typical household are expected to fall slightly to £1,926 from October, according to a new forecast. Consultancy firm Cornwall Insight predicts bills could drop by £148 under a new official price cap set to be announced by Ofgem next week. The energy price cap limits how much suppliers can charge households for each unit of energy they use. But bills still remain far higher than before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Kate Mulvaney, senior consultant at Cornwall Insight, told the BBC's Today programme that while wholesale energy prices had been falling, the drop in bills from October will probably be a little less than consumers were hoping for.

MANILA -Demand for smartphones is seen to be tepid for the rest of the year after seeing a decline in sales in the first quarter as Filipinos hold off purchases amid high consumer prices, according to International Data Corp. (IDC). Angela Medez, client devices senior market analyst at IDC Philippines, said the local smartphone market might still not regain its momentum this year. 'Though it seems that the market has finally bottomed out and is on its road to recovery with inflation finally slowing down, IDC anticipates shipments to remain flat in 2023 as vendors will remain cautious with inflation still above comfortable levels,' she said in a recent statement.
