ECB's Panetta: ECB should not pre-commit beyond February

  • Comments in an interview with Handelsblatt
  • Can bring inflation down with well-calibrated, non-mechanical rate hikes
  • Anxiously optimistic about inflation after recent good readings
  • ECB will assess policy in March based on new projections

This is a bit of a pushback against the policymakers that have been advocating for 50 bps in Feb and another 50 bps in March.
