WHAT THIS MEANS

Major investment banks (Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Barclays) are revising ECB rate forecasts upward, now expecting up to three rate hikes in 2026 starting from April, citing inflation risks from Middle East conflict and rising oil prices. This represents a significant shift from the recent cutting cycle and signals potential monetary tightening ahead.
