Ceasefire and Inflation: ECB's Dual Focus

ECB President Christine Lagarde welcomed US-Iran ceasefire, which could help reopen Strait of Hormuz.
Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel warned ceasefire offers no immediate relief for euro zone inflation.
ECB raised interest rates for first time in nearly three years to curb inflation amid energy cost surges from Iran war.
Nagel warned no relief is in sight for inflation as German energy measures expire, risking further inflation.
Slovakian central bank governor Peter Kazimir suggested oil supply damage requires further policy tightening.
Investors reduced rate hike expectations, now anticipating only one increase; Latvian governor Martins Kazaks stated ECB's mission to contain price pressures remains incomplete.
