Traders imply an 83% probability of an ECB rate hike in 2026, driven by mounting inflation risks from US trade policy shifts and Eurozone fiscal loosening. Donald Trump's election victory has heightened expectations of tariffs on European imports, potentially fueling price pressures, while Germany's new SPD-Green-CDU coalition agreed in late December to reform the debt brake for increased public spending and infrastructure. ECB's December 12 meeting delivered a 25 basis-point cut to the 2.5% deposit facility rate—its eighth easing this cycle—but officials flagged upside risks from sticky services inflation and robust wage growth. Staff projections target 2% inflation by end-2025, yet consensus anticipates economic recovery necessitating monetary tightening thereafter.
