ECB: Delivering the Required Hikes

SUMMARY
  • The ECB delivered another 50bps rate hike, as promised in February and expected. It is not allowing Silicon Valley Bank’s broadly irrelevant failure to break its focus.
  • Higher core inflation forecasts extend the problem and necessitate a tight monetary setting to break excessive pressures. ECB policy will rightly be data-dependent.
  • We forecast 25bp deposit rate hikes in May and June, with risks skewed towards further steps if resilience outlives the current financial stability issues.
