유럽중앙은행(ECB)은 10월 29일 세 가지 주요 금리를 동일하게 유지하기로 결정했습니다. 라가르드 총재는 에너지 가격의 지속적인 상승은 인플레이션 상승 위험과 성장 하락 위험을 초래한다고 말했습니다. 9월 물가상승률은 3.8%로 상승했고, 그 중 에너지 가격 상승률은 18.9%로 상승했다. 그녀는 데이터에 의존하는 회의별 의사결정 접근 방식을 고수할 것이며 사전에 특정 금리 경로를 정하지 않을 것이라고 말했습니다.
유럽중앙은행(European Central Bank) 이사회는 예금 금리, 주요 재융자 운영 금리, 한계 대출 금리를 각각 2.50%, 2.65%, 2.90%로 유지하는 등 3가지 주요 금리를 그대로 유지하기로 결정했습니다. 성명서는 에너지 가격의 지속적인 상승이 인플레이션 상승 위험과 성장 하락 위험을 초래한다고 밝혔습니다. 근본적인 인플레이션은 지금까지 전반적으로 안정적이었고 임금은 아직 큰 반응을 보이지 않았습니다. APP 및 PEPP 포트폴리오는 예측 가능한 속도로 계속 축소되고 있으며 ECB는 더 이상 만기가 도래하는 증권의 원금을 재투자하지 않을 것입니다.
유럽중앙은행 집행이사회 위원인 프랭크 엘더슨(Frank Elderson)은 그린 스완 2026 컨퍼런스에서 기후와 자연 위험이 성장, 인플레이션 및 금융 안정성에 영향을 미치는 구조적 거시 요인이 되었다고 말했습니다.
Editorial Comment
The Executive Committee of the European Central Bank defines climate and natural risks as structural macro factors that affect growth, inflation and financial stability, which prompts the market to incorporate non-traditional risks into long-term considerations of the euro area's policy path and asset pricing. Traders can pay attention to whether the policy uncertainty and financing channel obstacles faced by green investment will disrupt capital expenditure and productivity in the euro area, thereby affecting the mid- to long-term risk premium of the euro as well as gold’s hedging and real interest rate logic.
크리스틴 라가르드 유럽중앙은행 총재는 IMFC 회의에서 성명을 통해 유럽중앙은행이 에너지 충격으로 인한 인플레이션에 대응하기 위해 6월 이후 9월에도 금리를 25bp 인상할 것이라고 밝혔습니다. 그녀는 9월 전체 인플레이션이 3.8%, 핵심 인플레이션이 2.5%로 상승할 것이라는 전망을 내놓았으며, 직원들은 유로존 성장률이 2026년, 2027년, 2028년에 각각 0.9%, 1.4%, 1.5%가 될 것으로 전망했습니다.
Editorial Comment
European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde confirmed that interest rates will be raised by 25 basis points again in September to deal with energy-driven inflation, and gave an outlook of overall inflation of 3.8% and core inflation of 2.5%, indicating that the policy stance is still tight. This statement deserves attention for its support logic for the euro exchange rate and the potential impact of inflation resilience on the gold real interest rate environment; in the future, we need to pay attention to the balance between the weak economic growth forecast and policy tightening in the Eurozone.
The European Central Bank minutes confirmed that the energy shock had led to an upward revision of inflation expectations and raised interest rates by 25 basis points, showing that policymakers are more vigilant about the risk of upward inflation than they are worried about economic resilience. For the foreign exchange market, attention will be paid to whether subsequent meetings will continue to tighten to anchor inflation expectations; for gold, the stickiness of energy-driven inflation may strengthen its anti-inflation properties, which needs to be evaluated based on the evolution of real interest rates and risk aversion.
월러 연준 총재는 연설에서 9월 금리 인상이 노동시장 안정과 지속적인 인플레이션 압력에 따른 것이라고 설명하고, 데이터 의존성을 유지하는 금리경로 신호 도구로 경제전망요약(SEP)을 제안했다. 9월 SEP 점도표는 참가자 18명 중 16명이 일년 중 적어도 한 번은 금리를 인상할 것으로 예상한다는 것을 보여줍니다. 연방기금선물시장은 12월 이전에 최소 1회 금리 인상 확률이 85%이고, 2027년 3월 회의에서 최소 2회 금리 인상 확률이 거의 80%에 달합니다.
Editorial Comment
Waller's explanation of the basis for raising interest rates in September and the SEP dot plot show that most officials expect further interest rate increases during the year, indicating that policy communication still sends tight signals under a data-dependent framework. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, attention needs to be paid to whether market pricing and dot chart expectations continue to converge, and if labor and inflation data deviate from officials' assumptions, it may trigger a re-evaluation of the policy path.
The European Central Bank disclosed the details of the digital euro pilot and clarified its positioning as a supplement to cash, which will help alleviate market concerns about sovereign digital currencies replacing cash. For the euro, attention is paid to the potential support for European economic efficiency from the autonomy of payment infrastructure and merchant cost optimization, but the short-term direct impact on the gold and foreign exchange markets is expected to be limited.
The release of the minutes of the Federal Reserve's September meeting provides the market with a window to observe the details of policy discussions. The language on reducing the pace of asset purchases and the persistence of inflation may trigger short-term fluctuations in gold and the US dollar. However, the content of the minutes is only based on the information available at the time of the meeting, and there is a certain lag. Traders need to evaluate its reference value in conjunction with subsequent economic data to avoid overreaction to lagging signals.
The ECB has promoted the digital euro, wholesale settlement services and ecological framework in parallel, showing that its path to extending central bank currency into the digital environment has formed an overall structure. For traders, the progress of the digital euro pilot and bank liquidity measurement may affect the currency circulation efficiency of the euro area and the liquidity conditions of the banking system, and it is worthy of being used as an auxiliary observation point to evaluate changes in the euro monetary environment.
欧洲央行执委 Philip R. Lane 在接受 Ansa 采访时表示,能源价格高于基线情景但第二轮通胀传导效应迄今不强,长期收益率上行将被纳入货币政策评估。他还认为 AI 正在推动全球贸易与欧元区投资回升,并提醒广泛财政扩张无助于通胀及时回到 2% 目标。
Editorial Comment
The Executive Committee of the European Central Bank placed energy prices, long-term yields and AI effects in the same policy assessment framework, indicating that the subsequent interest rate path is more sensitive to changes in input costs and financial conditions. Traders need to pay attention to the European Central Bank's official statement on secondary inflation risks and fiscal expansion, which may affect the safe-haven pricing logic of the euro exchange rate and gold.

ECB 执委 Philip R. Lane 在 2026 年货币政策会议上梳理欧元区货币政策的诊断挑战,认为能源供给冲击已进入第二波,需结合财政刺激、AI 和金融条件进行多因素评估。他透露 9 月总体通胀为 3.8%,其中能源通胀 18.8%、非能源通胀 2.3%;政策利率已在 6 月和 9 月两轮上调至 2.50%。Lane 重申未来利率决策将逐次会议、基于数据,而非预先承诺路径。
Editorial Comment
Lane included the second wave of energy supply shocks, fiscal stimulus, and AI in the same diagnostic framework, showing that the causes of inflation in the euro area are becoming more complex. After the policy rate was raised to 2.50%, it still emphasized data dependence, which will amplify the sensitivity of the euro to subsequent inflation and growth data. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, attention needs to be paid to the signs of transmission of energy prices to non-energy inflation, as well as the market's repricing of the ECB's tightening pace under the "meeting-by-meeting" stance.

제퍼슨 연준 총재는 미국 경제가 계속 회복력을 보이고 고용을 늘려 6년 반의 경기 확장을 연장할 수 있지만 인플레이션이 너무 높고 위험이 상승 쪽으로 기울어질 것이라고 말했습니다. 그는 8월 PCE가 전년 동기 대비 3.4% 상승했고, 핵심 인플레이션은 보다 완만했으며, FOMC는 지난달 연방기금 금리 목표 범위를 3-3/4%에서 4%로 25bp 인상했다고 언급했습니다. 향후 정책 조정은 데이터, 전망 및 위험 균형에 따라 달라집니다.
Editorial Comment
The Fed governor's remarks highlighted that the risk of rising inflation remains at the core of policy, while the resilience of the job market provides room for continued tightening. For gold, the high inflation environment brings certain support, but uncertainty about the path of interest rates may amplify fluctuations. Traders need to focus on how subsequent PCE and employment data affect the balance of risks and tightening expectations.
The Federal Reserve's increased transparency in stress tests and smoothing out fluctuations in capital requirements will help reduce banking regulatory uncertainty, which may in turn affect the market's assessment of the stability of the financial system and risk appetite. For foreign exchange and gold traders, this measure may indirectly affect the volatility environment of the U.S. dollar and gold by changing bank stock performance, U.S. dollar liquidity expectations, and overall risk aversion. It is worth paying attention to the guidance of subsequent specific model changes and the implementation of the two-year average mechanism on market risk pricing.
