Predicted for 29. October 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The open platform prediction expects an ECB hike of 25bps to 2.50% on September 10, 2026. After a rate step, the ECB historically tends to pause for data assessment: in its recent 2022–2023 tightening phase there were no two consecutive meetings with hikes without intervening analysis. EUR/USD at 1.1589 on September 2, 2026 – weaker common currency dampens imported inflation pressure. No public ECB-Watch market for October specifically available; historical pause probability after a hike in the modern ECB cycle: ~70–75%. Next regular ECB meeting: October 29, 2026.
