ECB’s Joachim Nagel says no second-round inflation effects, strengthening case for rate cuts
AI Market Summary
ECB’s Nagel saying there are no second‑round inflation effects reinforces the view that euro area inflation can converge toward 2% without further tightening, strengthening expectations for additional rate cuts. Near‑term, this typically supports risk appetite and pressures euro area yields lower, with the most direct transmission to EUR via rate differentials and repricing of the ECB policy path.

ECB Governing Council member Joachim Nagel said there are currently no signs of second-round effects from inflation, reinforcing expectations of further rate cuts in the euro zone. He called the inflation outlook “good news,” suggesting price growth is continuing to move back toward the ECB’s 2% target. Euro zone inflation has fallen sharply from a peak of 10.6% in October 2022, after the ECB raised rates aggressively from July 2022 and has since paused at recent meetings.
