·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Polymarket prices a 25bp ECB rate hike at the September 10, 2026 Governing Council meeting at 99% (as of September 1, 2026; $309K volume). OIS markets (rateprobability.com) confirm >90% implied hike probability. Background: Eurostat flash estimate of September 1, 2026 shows August 2026 HICP annual inflation at 3.3%, well above the ECB's 2.0% target. The ECB last raised the deposit facility rate to 2.25% in June 2026. The September meeting is one of four sessions with new staff projections; Lagarde signaled a hawkish stance due to persistent energy-price-driven inflation. Deviation from market anchor (99→94%) due to theoretical last-minute shock reservation.
