In the final analysis, whether the next rate increase comes in September, October or whenever—and it looks like September notwithstanding current warning signs like IFO that suggest a possible slowdown in the coming monthsamp#45;amp#45; the data will determine how far the ECB goes with its rate hikes if the bank is savvy enough to keep the politicians at bay. But this is a big “if”.
总而言之，下一次的加息是否在九月、十月还是任何时候，而且，尽管目前有像IFO的警告说未来几个月内有可能经济放缓，看起来九月份加息还是要来。如果欧洲央行采取明智之举避免政坛人物的干预，那么，数据就会决定欧洲央行在加息的道路上走多远。但是这还是一个巨大的未知数。
