Webinar: Central Banks, Energy Prices And The Rate Hike Dilemma

Higher energy prices could hardly come at a more pivotal time for central banks. With inflation risks now growing and the March Fed, ECB and Bank of England meetings looming, rate cuts risk being curtailed, and talk of rate hikes will inevitably grow.

Join ING's economists and strategists for a live 45-minute webinar as they discuss how higher energy prices are reshaping the interest rate outlook for the rest of 2026 and what it all means for FX markets. Sign up here.

You'll discover:

• How high energy prices would need to rise – and how long they'd need to stay elevated – to trigger central bank rate hikes.
• ING's expectations for the March central bank meetings.
• Potential interest rate scenarios for the rest of 2026.
• What higher energy prices mean for EUR/USD and broader FX markets.
