J.P. Morgan said on Friday it expects the European Central Bank to raise interest rates in April and July. This outlook contrasts with the bank’s earlier forecast of steady rates through 2026. Policymakers signaled at recent discussions that rate hikes could occur due to rising inflation risks. The forecast revision reflects these signals.
The bank’s latest view anticipates two rate increases this year. The previous forecast projected no changes in ECB rates until 2026. This update comes amid ongoing talks on monetary policy and inflation.
