By Sruthi Shankar May 26 (Reuters) - European stocks held near all-time highs on Wednesday as a host of central bank policymakers pledged to keep monetary policy loose despite recent signs of an uptick in inflation. Spire Healthcare Group SPI.L jumped 24.6% after Australian hospital operator Ramsay Health Care RHC.AX said it would buy British peer for 1 billion pounds ($1.42 billion). Similar comments from European Central Bank policymakers, including that it may be too early to discuss tapering of emergency bond purchases, helped equity markets in the region stabilize.
