ECB schnabel

ECBs Schnabel is speaking and she says:

  • services inflation is showing that the last mile inflation fight is especially difficult
  • Some data was not quite in line with projections.
  • The ECB is not on a predetermined path. A first cut does not imply a series of cuts.
  • Freight costs, protectionism could drive inflation.
  • Pace and extent of ECB rate cuts will depend on the data
  • Closely watching sticky services prices
