[Institution: ECB Rate Hike in 2026 Highly Unlikely] BlockBeats News, December 11, Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management CEO Benjamin Melman stated that the likelihood of the European Central Bank (ECB) raising interest rates in 2026 is extremely low. 'We do not believe this will happen,' he said. He pointed out that initiating a large-scale fiscal expansion plan after years of economic weakness in Germany, coupled with France's challenging fiscal situation, would make such a rapid rate hike a 'crazy move.' According to LSEG data, the money market is currently not pricing in any ECB rate hikes for 2026. (Jin10)
