Governor of the Österreichische Nationalbank and member of the European Central Bank (ECB), Martin Kocher, said that the ECB should be prepared to move interest rates quickly in either direction in a Wall Street Journal interview on Monday.
Key takeaways:
Should be prepared to move rates quickly in either direction.
A fresh increase in uncertainty since start of the year makes it possible that key rate will be lowered again.
Disruptions to oil markets or shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could increase costs and therefore inflation.
While policymakers will take account of currency moves, they won’t have a decisive impact on rate decisions.”
