ECB board member Schnabel dropped an interesting hint: their next policy shift might actually be a rate hike. But don't hold your breath—she's making it crystal clear this won't happen anytime soon. The central bank seems committed to holding its current stance for the foreseeable future, probably waiting to see how economic data plays out before making any hawkish moves. For now, the message is patience.

Playing hawkish smoke screens again, I'm tired of the ECB's rhetoric.

ngl Schnabel's set of talking points is just the usual "kiting" tactic, waiting for the market reaction. Rate hike? Let me first paint a picture for you.

It's the same rhetoric again, I've been hearing it for over a year... Schnabel just likes to make empty promises and ends up doing nothing.

Here we go again? They talk about raising interest rates but it never happens—this is the central bank's usual playbook.

ngl Schnabel was really vague, when exactly will they raise interest rates... Feels like the ECB just wants to keep everyone guessing.

LOL, it's the same old "we might raise interest rates, but don't rush" rhetoric again. I'm tired of hearing this from the ECB.

Nah, no matter what Schnabel says, it's useless. The ECB is just being stubborn. By the time they actually raise interest rates, it'll be way too late.

ngl Schnabel is just saying nice things to reassure the market; as for an actual rate hike, we’ll probably be waiting forever...
