(Bloomberg) -- European Central Bank officials are signaling that a US-Iran peace accord won't necessarily stop them lifting interest rates further, even if it prevents a more pronounced overshoot in inflation.

European Central Bank officials are facing the risk that inflation will hover above their goal “for quite some time,” according to Chief Economist Philip Lane.
