Bank of England Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden signaled he is less concerned about UK inflation than in previous months, a sign he may be willing to support interest rate cuts.

Ramsden played down concerns of the UK seeing a US-style uptick in price growth, arguing that its inflation dynamics are now “converging” with the more sanguine backdrop in the eurozone.
