1月22日晚，欧洲央行公布了12月货币政策会议纪要显示，由于通胀率徘徊在目标附近，欧洲央行决策 者并不急于调整利率，而且他们似乎对投资者押注2026年全年利率保持稳定感到满意。 欧洲央行在12月的会议上维持利率在2%不变，并上调了经济增长预期。市场将此解读为一个信号，即 任何进一步宽松政策的门槛都极为高企。 自该次会议以来，欧洲央行首席经济学家菲利普·莱恩（Philip Lane）多次表示，只要经济运行情况符合 当前预测，近期内利率调整并不太可能被提上议事日程。这证实了市场此前的预期，即在截至去年6月 的一年内八次降息之后，欧洲央行将在一段时间内维持利率不变。 同时指出："总体而言，从货币政策角度看，欧洲央行当前处于一个相当合适的位置，但这并不意味着 政策立场是固定不变的。" 在讨论风险时，会议强调了包括人工智能投资热潮、美国加征关税、中国商品倾销等一系列新型风险带 来的高度不确定性。 "一些"政策制定者认为风险倾向于通胀低于目标水平，而"少数"政策制定者则担 心通胀过高。 这意味着，即便未来某个时点政策发生调整，下一步行动的方向本身仍充满不确定性。 纪要指出："重要的是，不要给市场留下下一步行动会朝某一方向 ...
