[Goldman Sachs Expects ECB to Raise Rates in April] Jin10 Data, March 23 – Goldman Sachs currently expects the European Central Bank (ECB) to raise rates by 25 basis points each in April and June 2026, revising its earlier forecast of no rate changes this year. This adjustment aligns with last week's predictions from JPMorgan and Barclays, both of which also anticipate the ECB taking action in April. Goldman Sachs noted that conflicts in the Middle East have introduced inflation risks, with rising energy prices being the primary concern.
