The European Central Bank (ECB) signaled the possibility of new interest rate hikes in the near future, at a time when inflation remains high.
Edgar Caetano is the voice interpreting the ECB's message as an opening for new interest rate hikes, arguing that this position of the central bank is clear in this regard.
Inflation is expected to remain high for some time, which fuels expectations for the maintenance or even worsening of interest rates in the euro area.
This scenario of inflationary pressure is conditioned by the conflict in the Middle East, which contributes to economic instability and the persistence of high prices.
