A report said ECB chief economist Philip Lane told German economists that internal forecasts saw euro zone inflation at 2% by 2025, potentially implying a rate hike in 2023. The ECB denied the report, and the euro barely reacted, trading near 1.178.
Expectations of earlier ECB rate hikes would support the euro against the dollar, with knock-on effects on dollar-priced commodities. The denial limits the impact, leaving currency effects modest for feed markets.
