European Central Bank Governing Council member Wunsch stated that a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran reached before next week's European Central Bank meeting would not weaken the rationale for interest rate hikes. Wunsch said, "If a peace agreement is indeed reached on the eve of the meeting, it will become part of the discussion.

But we cannot know if it is lasting or credible." He hinted at supporting a 25 basis point rate hike by the European Central Bank. He believes that if the conflict remains unresolved, discussions among policymakers before setting rates on June 11 "will be quite easy." If a peace agreement is reached between the U.S. and Iran, the discussions "may be slightly less easy. But the rationale for a rate hike may still exist, just not as strong." He stated, "At some point, we cannot let the market bear everything. We need to take a stand."
