Eurozone inflation surged to 3.0% in April 2026 from 2.6% in March, propelled by energy price spikes tied to the Iran war, leading the ECB Governing Council to hold the deposit facility rate at 2% on April 30 while signaling potential hikes starting in June to anchor expectations near the 2% target. ECB President Christine Lagarde noted internal debates on tightening, echoed by officials like Isabel Schnabel and Piero Cipollone warning of inflation risks and bolstering hike bets in recent speeches. This stagflation backdrop—persistent price pressures amid meager 0.1% Q1 growth—drives trader consensus to price a near-certain rate hike somewhere in 2026, though geopolitical de-escalation or softer data could shift probabilities before key meetings.
