If central banks were hoping for clarity on the Middle East by their June decisions, they’re likely to be left bitterly disappointed. Energy prices are down but the Strait of Hormuz remains far from open. Inflation is climbing and with every passing day, supply chains become ever more disrupted. Yet economies, particularly in Europe, are starting to show the strain. The case for rate hikes is far from clear-cut.
Join ING’s economists and strategists for a live 45 minute discussion of the forthcoming central bank decisions. You’ll learn:
-
Why an ECB rate rise looks like a done deal in June – and why this could be a one-off
-
The outlook for growth and inflation across the US and Europe
-
Whether the Fed could really hike rates this year – and why officials are turning more hawkish
-
Why the Bank of England is proving more reluctant to hike rates than the ECB and why a hike is far from guaranteed
-
Where EUR/USD could trade over the summer in different oil price scenarios
