The European Central Bank's tendency to raise interest rates has strengthened, and Lagarde emphasizes the increasing risks

According to Jinshi News, ING analyst Carsten Brzeski stated in a report that ECB President Lagarde's remarks at the press conference indicate that a rate hike in June is one step closer. Lagarde emphasized that the risks on both growth and inflation are intensifying, although the decision to keep interest rates unchanged was unanimous. Brzeski pointed out that the ECB has introduced a clear inclination towards rate hikes in its wait-and-see stance.
