Deutsche Bank's chief European economist, Mark Wall, believes that inflation risks continue to rise, and the probability of another rate hike in December has increased compared to not raising rates at all. Market pricing is more aggressive, with the probability of a rate hike in October estimated at around 49%, rising to 89% by the end of the year. However, rising natural gas prices also pose a negative supply shock: in the short term, they push up energy, transportation, and commodity prices, forcing the European Central Bank to guard against double-dip inflation; as business costs and real purchasing power are under pressure, subsequent growth may weaken. Europe is entering a policy window of "inflation rising first, growth falling later," where rate hikes initially raise short-term interest rates but may not be able to sustainably support the euro and long-term yields.

According to the Iranian news agency IRNA, Iranian Central Bank Governor Hemmati, referring to a series of US sanctions and the greatest economic pressure, stated that everything the US has done so far, aside from creating some income and trade restrictions, is merely an attempt to exacerbate expectations and have a temporary impact on market sentiment. He stated that economic pressure is not a policy, but a miscalculation, and it is increasing the calculation costs for Americans. Responding to Trump's promise that the Republicans would win the congressional elections, Hemmati said that the promise to pay every American $5,000 if the Republicans win the congressional elections is part of this miscalculation cost.
