Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors no change in ECB key interest rates at the April 30, 2026 Governing Council meeting, with 80.2% implied probability, reflecting the European Central Bank's March 19 decision to hold the deposit facility rate steady at 2.0% amid inflation stabilizing near the 2% target. March flash data showed euro area annual inflation rising to 2.5% from 1.9% in February, driven by energy prices amid Middle East tensions, prompting ECB President Lagarde to signal readiness for hikes if pressures persist, while Governing Council member Wunsch noted an April increase "not out of the question." Banks like J.P. Morgan forecast potential hikes starting April, boosting the 19.7% odds on an increase, though economist polls expect holds through 2026; cuts remain negligible (<0.2%) given upside inflation risks and steady GDP growth.
