Inflation challenges Fed and ECB
It is expected that monetary policymakers at the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank will adopt a more cautious stance in their upcoming meetings, following their interest rate hikes in September amid concerns over rising inflation. In the United States, a strong labor market supports the Federal Reserve in delaying further rate increases, although the minutes of its upcoming meeting may reveal concerns about the persistent rise in core inflation, with the possibility of raising interest rates again before the end of the year. Meanwhile, in the Eurozone, inflation data has shown a faster acceleration than expected due to rising energy costs, and expectations regarding a rate hike in October remain divided, as bond markets are influenced by inflation pressures and financial conditions.
