Bank of England Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden urged a "cautious and gradual" route to interest rate reductions, referencing heightened economic uncertainty from rising inflation and sluggish growth. He referenced a shift in inflation risks to "two-sided," or both inflationary and disinflationary pressures. Ramsden also referenced an eight-month high in pay growth as a potential source of inflation persistence. He was hesitant about the UK labor market outlook, suggesting that shifting conditions may necessitate a review of the rate-cutting rhythm. These remarks indicate the Bank of England's cautious monetary policy response amid prevailing economic uncertainties, following a recent rate cut to 4.5%.
