⚡ Quantum Brief
ING economists project prolonged elevated oil prices in their base-case scenario, likely dampening economic growth and exerting downward pressure on interest rates through 2026. A severe supply disruption lasting until May could trigger an ECB rate hike, though rates would decline by year-end as growth slows under sustained energy price shocks. US 10-year Treasury yields are forecast to rise to 4.25%-4.5% before retreating, reflecting shifting market expectations amid geopolitical tensions and energy volatility. With minimal economic data releases, geopolitical developments—particularly energy supply risks—will dominate market sentiment and trading activity in the near term. Analysts emphasize the transition from "transitory" inflation effects to persistent structural pressures, signaling a more cautious monetary policy outlook for central banks globally.
