For the first time, ECB governing council members are all saying the same thing: they are data-dependent and meeting-by-meeting. They want markets to keep pricing in a hike to tighten financial conditions, but are reluctant to say how they will vote in July or September. They agree second-round effects from energy prices are not over, even with a potential Middle East ceasefire.
Questions remain about how long and how much this plays out in wages and food inflation.
