We expect inflation to keep round the official target of The Fed would probably keep on (cautiously) hiking rates We see the Fed Funds target at 1.25% by year end, by mid-218. The Euro area recovery appears to be self-sustaining, also spreading across countries Intra-EU trade continues to build, signalling stronger domestic demand Indeed, corporate investment is doing well, while private consumption is getting stronger along with employment The ECB s QE and zero interest rate policy continues to revive credit and money supply growth. Inflation has rebounded in the wake of higher oil prices, but the core CPI trend remains very subdued, at around 1%, which argues for the ECB to maintain the status quo in 217.
