ECB’s Kazimir: One more interest rate hike is needed
European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member and Governor of the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS), Peter Kazimir, seems to be leaning towards a hawkish monetary policy outlook. In European trade, Kazimir signaled the need FOR an interest rate hike to ease accelerating risks of second-round inflation effects.
Remarks
At least one more interest rate hike will be needed.
Second-round effects costly to reverse, ECB must act before they are visible.
Deterioration of outlook would warrant more tightening than now expected.
Rate hike will be warranted even if inflation situation improves somewhat.
Market reaction
The Euro (EUR) has not reacted immediately to ECB Kazimir's comments, but has surrendered some of its early gains due to a recovery move in the US Dollar (USD). At press time, EUR/USD trades 0.22% higher to near 1.1395.

Morgan Stanley warns: old storage prices are peaking, supply and demand may turn relaxed by 2028
Morgan Stanley pointed out that after the U.S. midterm elections, it is expected that about 20% of the new data center capacity in the United States originally planned for 2028 will be postponed to 2029. This may cause a "gap" in the supply chain in 2028, resulting in the risk of excess inventory of legacy storage. Legacy storage is less bound by long-term fixed price contracts, so a narrowing supply-demand gap could lead to significant price fluctuations. The above analysis refers only to legacy storage, including DDR3/4, SLC/MLC NAND, and NOR flash.
