23 July ECB meeting

ING Head of Global Macro Carsten Brzeski stated that it is a strong possibility for the European Central Bank (ECB) to decide to keep interest rates unchanged at its upcoming meeting. Markets generally expect the central bank to maintain a stable interest rate policy in July.

However, Brzeski pointed out that despite these expectations, a surprise interest rate hike is not completely off the table. He warned that depending on the trajectory of economic data and inflationary pressures, the ECB could unexpectedly tighten its policy.
