ING analysts Chris Turner and Padhraic Garvey argue the Bank of Japan is likely to hike 25bp to 1.25% and then proceed cautiously. They see government resistance to aggressive tightening and project two additional 25bp hikes in January and April, taking the policy rate to 1.75%, which they view as nearโneutral ahead of a temporary […]
Francesco Pesole at ING argues that despite stronger United Kingdom (UK) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data and resilient Sterling, the move in Gilts is largely externally driven and not about domestic fiscal fears. ING maintains its view that the Bank of England will not hike further, warning of a potential dovish repricing and targeting higher EUR/GBP and […]
ING analysts Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey note that Brent and WTI have rallied sharply as Middle East tensions escalate and Saudi Arabia reports a steep drop in output.

INGโs Frantisek Taborsky expects the Central Bank of the Republic of Tรผrkiye (CBRT) to keep its policy rate at 37% for now, after normalising liquidity and lowering the effective funding rate.

INGโs Frantisek Taborsky highlights that Hungarian inflation rebounded to 1.3% in August but stayed below expectations and the NBHโs forecast, with price growth seen remaining under target this year.

INGโs Frantisek Taborsky highlights a busy CEE data and policy calendar, with Hungaryโs inflation seen edging up, the National Bank of Poland and Central Bank of Turkey expected on hold, and Romaniaโs inflation falling sharply on base effects. He argues markets overprice tightening in Czech Republic and Poland, seeing scope for narrower rate differentials and […]

They highlight continued flows through the Strait of Hormuz, aided by US Navy escorts, and unchanged OPEC+ quotas. Speculative net longs in ICE Brent have risen, while disruptions mean many producers […]
ING analysts Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey note that Oil prices, including ICE Brent above US$95/bbl, remain supported by heightened US-Iran tensions and robust Iraqi exports routed via the Strait of Hormuz.
