Core inflation has improved recently, but the ECB is cautious due to fluctuating oil prices that could rekindle headline inflation. Another ECB interest rate hike is viewed as unlikely at present. Monetary data, economic indicators, and wage growth suggest a more stable underlying inflation trend. In light of this data, it seems prudent for the ECB to pause further rate hikes. Leading experts also propose that current interest rates are sufficiently restrictive. Furthermore, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and the National Australia Bank, among others, anticipate no interest rate adjustments, consistent with the ECB’s stance that rates have significantly contributed to inflation control. While discussions regarding the end of the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (PEPP) may arise, a decision in this regard is not expected until early 2024.
