Deutsche Bank's Europe chief economist Mark Wall said that despite rising inflation risks, the ECB should be cautious if it intends another rate hike before year-end. The ECB on Thursday lifted its key rate by 25bp to 2.5%. Wall said a December hike currently looks likely but warned a sharp rise in gas prices is creating a negative supply shock that will eventually weigh on growth; the magnitude and timing of the hit are uncertain.
