The ECB’s communications following the April meeting made it clear that a rate hike is on the cards in June. Inflation risks were judged to have intensified and were on the upside as the developments were moving away from the ECB’s baseline.

We expect a 25bp hike at each of the next two meetings taking the deposit rate to 2.5%
