Debt, inflation, artificial intelligence… The Fed and the ECB under pressure from the markets
ANALYSIS – The two central banks are expected to leave their rates unchanged this week, without ruling out further increases in December. In Europe, distrust of French debt complicates the fight against inflation.
Inflation is picking up again, but central banks should delay. On Wednesday, the American Federal Reserve (Fed) will undoubtedly announce that it will maintain its rates between 3.75% and 4%. The next day, the European Central Bank could also opt for the status quo.
The turbulence in France, which has become the weak link in the euro zone, will be at the heart of the issues for the Frankfurt-based bank. Without leading to an immediate response, observers predict. After two quarter-point increases, in June and September, the ECB should keep its deposit rate at 2.5%.
A pause, not a change of course This will be a pause, rather than a change of course. The recent rise in global bond yields reflects concerns about public debt, inflation and the massive financing needs linked to artificial intelligence.
