Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
The ECB's September minutes confirm a unanimous Governing Council view that a worsening inflation outlook and economic resilience justified a 25bp hike to a 2.50% deposit rate, though the tone was less hawkish than President Lagarde's press conference. Some members saw the energy shock as politically driven and potentially short-lived, and warned resilience conclusions were premature. Indirect effects remained contained and second-round effects absent so far. ING argues the October meeting is unlikely to raise rates again, with France's fiscal situation and rising bond yields—equivalent to a 25bp hike in Germany and 50bp in France—potentially making the ECB more dovish.

Key arguments
- The 25bp deposit rate hike to 2.50% was supported across a wide range of scenarios because staff projections showed inflation well above target for an extended period.
- Some members viewed the energy shock as politically driven and potentially reversible, while others said resilience conclusions were premature.
- Indirect effects remained contained and second-round effects had not been seen, with a cooling labour market and moderating wage growth possibly limiting future second-round risks.
- ING sees the October meeting as unlikely to discuss further hikes, with France's fiscal situation and higher bond yields doing the ECB's tightening job.
Key numbers
- Deposit facility rate after September hike
- 2.50%
- Size of September rate hike
- 25bp
- Previous deposit facility rate
- 2.25%
- German bond yield rise impact since September meeting

Main risks
- Higher energy prices could transmit to food prices via higher fertiliser costs compounded by El Niño and heatwaves.
- A further rise in long-term interest rates could adversely affect growth, with France's fiscal situation risking a sovereign debt crisis narrative.
- The energy shock could prove more persistent than assumed if it is not purely political and reversible.
