Trader consensus on Polymarket strongly favors no change (76%) in ECB key interest rates at the April 29-30 Governing Council meeting, following the March 19 decision to hold the deposit facility rate at 2.00% amid upward revisions to 2026 inflation forecasts at 2.6%, driven by Mideast energy shocks and Iran tensions. March eurozone headline inflation surged to 2.5% from 1.9% due to oil price spikes, prompting President Lagarde's March 25 remarks signaling potential hikes if pressures endure beyond short-lived surges, elevating the increase odds to 23%. Rate cuts remain improbable (<1%) with inflation above the 2% target and no major growth downturn evident.
