"Huw Pill will speak tonight, followed by Dhingra (Wed), Ramsden (Thu). Last week, BoE’s Pill told Reuters that he is cautious about further rate cuts. He said that BoE had more work to do to bring down inflation and that policymakers 'can’t just remove all restriction overnight, cut rates aggressively, etc'."
