X chatter from central bank officials and analysts was relatively limited today regarding rate expectations and inflation.
What the Accounts Are Saying
The ECB account shared updates on Bulgaria’s euro adoption, supervisory interviews, and a geopolitical risk stress test for 110 banks. It also published analysis on surging fuel prices and their impact on euro area energy inflation amid Middle East conflict. Latest euro area bank interest rate data for June was released as well.
US Inflation Context
Economist Ernie Tedeschi (@ernietedeschi) posted that core US inflation (ex-food/energy/housing) is firming and accelerating, with services ex-housing at the strongest pace since 2003–08. Services now make up a larger share of spending, he noted.
Bank of Israel and Fed
No prominent posts from the Bank of Israel or Fed accounts on monetary policy topics in recent days.
The Bottom Line
X discussion around monetary policy remains quiet, with emphasis on operational data and European energy inflation. Additional updates will be tracked as they emerge.
