ECB Officials Open to December Rate Hike if Inflation Outlook Persists

The possibility of further tightening is driven by concerns over rising energy prices, which continue to pose risks to price stability within the Eurozone. Market participants are closely monitoring these signals as the central bank balances inflation control against economic growth pressures.
