Beginning this week, the ECB, the Federal Reserve, and the Bank of England will hold interest-rate meetings one after another. When oil prices return to the $100 mark, how will the three central banks act? The market's expectations for action by the ECB, the Federal Reserve, and the Bank of England are quite divided. According to a Reuters survey, economists generally expect the ECB to raise interest rates by 25 basis points. First, the rise in inflation in Europe is due in large part to energy-related supply-side factors. Second, if the ECB raises interest rates, the interest rate spread between Europe and the US changes, which may affect the trend of the euro and the US dollar. Third. If the ECB tightens monetary policy further, global bond yields may continue to face upward pressure, and America's long-term financing costs may also be affected. Judging from inflationary pressure alone, the reasons for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates further are also increasing. However, according to data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's Federal Reserve Interest Rate Observation Tool, the current market expects that the probability that the Fed will raise interest rates by 25 basis points at next week's interest rate meeting is only about 60%, and there have been significant fluctuations in recent times. The employment data recently released by the US was better than expected, but driven by multiple factors such as the AI investment boom, the long-term financing costs of the US are still high. Whether the Federal Reserve needs to further tighten the financial environment through interest rate hikes is facing some uncertainty. On the other hand, the timing of the September interest rate meeting is also quite sensitive; it will soon be an important midterm election in the US. After Vice President Vance made a public statement, President Trump also pressured the Federal Reserve not to raise interest rates with trade policies, and even hoped to cut interest rates instead.
