According to CoinMeta, Elma Volk, a senior fixed-income analyst at lbbw, stated in a report that the European Central Bank (ECB) may have more interest rate hikes ahead, but it is not expected to take any action this week. The ECB's interest rate decisions and the subsequent press conference by President Lagarde are not likely to significantly change market participants' views on future interest rate trends. These events are more likely to have a cooling effect on medium-term interest rate expectations, as the ECB's Governing Council's recent statements tend to suggest a need for cautious policy tightening. lbbw expects that by the spring of 2027, the ECB will raise interest rates twice more, with the key interest rate reaching a peak of 3%.
