欧洲央行加息

关键论点

• 加息25个基点至2.5%符合预期，使存款利率处于欧洲央行中性区间的上沿。
• 中东局势升级及油价飙升强化了加息理由，即便在能源价格更温和的前景下也是如此。
• 核心通胀、服务价格及调查通胀预期仍显示能源价格上涨几乎没有二轮效应。
• 工作人员预测2026年通胀维持在3%，2027年和2028年分别上调至2.5%和2.1%；核心通胀分别为2.5%、2.6%和2.3%。
• 此次加息被定性为“保险式”加息和提前行动；不作为对欧洲央行公信力的伤害更大。
• 进一步收紧将意味着货币政策需要具有限制性，但ING认为，鉴于公共财政困境和债券收益率飙升，很难设想欧洲央行会这样做。
• 近期债券收益率和油价飙升尚未被完全纳入工作人员预测。
