On June 3, the Financial Times reported that ECB Governing Council member Isabel Schnabel stated that a peace agreement between the US and Iran, reached before next week's ECB meeting, would not weaken the rationale for raising interest rates. Schnabel noted, 'If a peace agreement is indeed reached on the eve of the meeting, it will be part of the discussion. But we cannot know if it is lasting or credible.' She hinted at supporting a 25 basis point rate hike by the ECB. She believes that if the conflict remains unresolved, discussions among policymakers before setting rates on June 11 'will be quite straightforward.' If a peace agreement is reached, the discussions 'might be slightly less straightforward. But the justification for a rate hike may still exist, just not as robustly.' She stated, 'At some point, we cannot let the market bear everything. We need to take a stance.' (Jinshi)
