ECB likely to hold rates Thursday, December hike may be last as bond selloff tightens conditions

The ECB is expected to keep rates unchanged at its Thursday meeting despite Eurozone inflation rising to 3.8% in September (from 3.2% in October — likely a typo in source), with the next hike deferred to December. Some Governing Council members argue that rising member-state borrowing costs from massive European bond liquidation already restrict liquidity, potentially making the December hike the final one. This signals a shift toward data-dependence and growing concern over fiscal-financial feedback, with market implications for euro rates and risk assets.
