Most economists in the poll believe that rising energy prices are unlikely to trigger widespread inflationary pressures. Despite renewed tensions in the Middle East in recent days and a sharp rise in global bond yields over the past week, forecasters focusing on the ECB maintain that the central bank is unwilling to add further pressure to the fragile economy. Carsten Brzeski, global head of macro at ING, expects the ECB to raise rates by 25 basis points in September and then stop. He stated, "Given the public finance difficulties and soaring bond yields, its still hard to imagine the ECB really wanting to add fuel to the fire. In other words, its hard to imagine the ECB being willing to risk a recession to deal with what is still a typical supply-side shock."Deutsche Bank raised its price target for Dell (DELL.N) from $480 to $520.A Reuters poll shows economists expect the European Central Bank to raise interest rates for the second time in September, after which it will stop raising rates.

The EUR/GBP pair extended its recovery above 0.88 during the Asian trading session. Anticipating that the European Central Bank (ECB) will continue to raise interest rates to combat persistent inflation, the cross has depreciated progressively. Friday will see the publication of preliminary Eurozone Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Q4) figures. Prior to the publication of these figures, it is anticipated that the asset will exhibit explosive activity.

 

It is anticipated that the preliminary Eurozone HICP will decelerate significantly from 8.5% to 7.3%. While it is anticipated that the core HICP will rise to 5.7% from 5.6% in the previous release. Weak energy prices are anticipated to have a significant impact on Eurozone inflation. In light of Christine Lagarde's prediction that inflation will remain elevated for an extended period of time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to continue tightening monetary policy.

 

In the interim, banking tensions are subsiding as the absence of information regarding additional collateral damage has a positive impact on the market. Chief Economist Philip Lane stated on Wednesday that ECB interest rates must rise if banking tension has no or a "relatively limited" impact.

 

Investors avidly anticipate the United Kingdom's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data. According to the consensus, the United Kingdom's growth in the fourth quarter of CY2022 remained unchanged. It is anticipated that the annual GDP will remain unchanged at 0.4%. It is expected that the British economy will undergo a severe recession as a result of high inflation and sluggish growth.

 

The Bank of England (BoE) policymakers appear confident that inflation will moderate in the near future and that the unexpected rise in February's inflation was a one-time anomaly; however, the absence of evidence raises doubts. If inflation persists, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey stated that additional rate increases would be announced. In contrast, Bank of America (BoA) analysts anticipate that the Bank of England (BoE) will not increase rates and will maintain current levels until 2024.
