State Street Warns ECB Rate Hikes May Prove Ineffective in Fighting Inflation

According to State Street Global Advisors, the bank's chief economist Simona Mocuta warned that European Central Bank rate hikes are likely to prove ineffective in controlling inflation. In a recent report, Mocuta stated that monetary tightening may weaken economic growth rather than ease price pressures, as rate hikes are unlikely to effectively counter inflation driven by supply shocks. She added that with wage inflation well controlled and consumer confidence and spending weak, there is limited room for a second wave of inflation. The institution expects the ECB may raise rates again in the fall of 2026.
