This followed the ECB’s June 25-basis-point increase that lifted the deposit facility rate to 2.25%. Governing Council communications, including remarks from President Lagarde, have highlighted upside inflation risks and left the door open to further tightening, aligning with futures and analyst consensus favoring another 25-basis-point move. Modest Q2 GDP growth of 0.4% and limited evidence of broad second-round effects introduce some caution, supporting the smaller probability attached to no change, while larger moves in either direction remain heavily discounted given the data trajectory and policy signals.
