ECB speak in the week to 26 Aug 2024:
- Chief Economist Lane sees monetary stance needing to remain in restrictive territory for as long as needed for "sustainable" return to inflation target.
- Lane wary of "chronically" below-target inflation from rates too high for too long but also see a lot of momentum in Europe.
- A typically hawkish Holzmann doesn't see a September cut as a foregone conclusion although some of his colleagues do.
- Rehn and Centeno are two of those clearly calling for a September cut but with Centeno seeing October as a "funny" meeting.
- Sources: Worry is October and not September, with risk of a September cut stoking expectations too much (Reuters). Hard discussions on r-star to start at the end of this year as a way to lay the ground for 2025 (MNI).
