Trader consensus reflects an 84% implied probability of an ECB rate hike sometime in 2026, propelled by Eurozone headline inflation surging to 2.5% in March—exceeding the 2% target—amid energy price shocks from escalating Middle East tensions, including the Iran conflict. The ECB's March 19 Governing Council decision held key deposit rates at 2% but elevated its 2026 inflation projection to 2.6% from 1.9%, underscoring upside risks. President Christine Lagarde and hawkish governors like Nagel and Wunsch signaled potential hikes as early as the April 30 meeting if pressures endure, aligning with major banks' revised forecasts for multiple increases. Growth moderation tempers immediacy, but persistent inflation could accelerate tightening.
