[Goldman Sachs Delays Forecast for ECB Rate Hike Timing] Jin10 Data, April 16 – Goldman Sachs analysts Sven Jari Stehn and Alexandre Stott have reaffirmed their previous forecast that the European Central Bank (ECB) will raise interest rates twice this year, but they have adjusted their expectations for the timing of the hikes. They now anticipate the ECB will raise rates in June and September, compared to their earlier forecast of April and June. They stated: "We expect energy prices to remain elevated this year, and inflation is likely to be significantly impacted in the coming months. Moreover, the ECB's overall stance on the future rate path remains relatively hawkish." Additionally, according to LSEG data, the money market also expects the ECB to implement two rate hikes this year, totaling a 50-basis-point increase.
