EA: Activity Towards Gradual Exit
- Services activity remains relatively robust in the Euro area, consistent with ongoing expansion. The consumer confidence crash is likely to bind business pricing power.
- Unemployment’s steep trend decline still suggests a tightening that exceeds the experience of many countries with far more hawkish policy outlooks.
- The ECB remains likely to respond soon after finishing QE, with an initial hike in Sep-22. We still see a demand squeeze encouraging a more gradual cycle than markets price.
