Goldman Sachs: Expects ECB to Hike Rates in April

BlockBeats News, March 23rd, Goldman Sachs currently expects the European Central Bank to raise interest rates by 25 basis points in both April and June 2026, previously forecasted to keep rates unchanged this year. This adjustment is in line with last week's predictions from JPMorgan and Barclays, both of which also expect ECB action in April.

Goldman Sachs noted that the conflict in the Middle East has brought inflation risks, with rising energy prices being a major concern factor. (Xinhua)
