Citable research brief

Core conclusion · Tlines extraction

Global bond yields rose unusually across developed markets. The ECB raised its policy rate 25bp to 2.5%, revised up growth and inflation, with inflation peaking at 3.6% in Q4 2026 before returning to around 2%; markets priced 50% odds of an October hike and three hikes by mid-2027, which BNP Paribas views as excessive, expecting one more hike in December. US core CPI at 0.29% m/m is incompatible with the Fed's 2% target; market-implied probability of a hike this week is 90%. Energy prices surged on Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb tensions, with Brent December 2026 futures hitting $100/b and TTF gas above EUR 83/MWh, a high since late 2022.

Key arguments

ECB hiked 25bp to 2.5%, revised up growth and inflation; market pricing of three hikes by mid-2027 is viewed as excessive, with one more hike expected in December.
US August core CPI at 0.29% m/m is incompatible with the Fed's 2% target; market-implied odds of a hike this week jumped to 90% from 60%.
Energy prices climbed on renewed Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb tensions, with Saudi East-West pipeline exports halted, removing about 4% of global oil supply.
China's August exports rose 25% y/y and imports 28.2% y/y, with trade surplus reaching USD 806bn over eight months, while headline CPI stayed low at 0.8% y/y.

Key numbers

ECB policy rate: 2.5%
Eurozone inflation peak (Q4 2026): 3.6%
US core CPI m/m (August): 0.29%
Brent December 2026 futures: USD 100/b
China trade surplus (8M 2026): USD 806bn

Main risks

Energy prices may rise further if tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb persist or worsen, potentially keeping inflation higher for longer and prompting more central bank tightening than expected.
French growth remains weak, with INSEE cutting its 2026 forecast to 0.4% and manufacturing output falling for a third consecutive month; credit demand is cooling as rates rise.
Rising US mortgage rates at 6.85% and falling existing home sales (-2% m/m in August) signal continued housing-market deterioration.
