★ECB Officials See Possibility of Rate Hike at April Meeting
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"The European Central Bank is signaling an aggressive stance, ready to hike rates sooner than expected if global conflicts fuel inflation. This could mean higher borrowing costs across Europe, impacting economic growth and potentially strengthening the Euro against other currencies. Investors should prepare for increased volatility in European markets."

The Big Market Report Take
Looks like the ECB is getting a little antsy about inflation, especially with the Iran situation adding fuel to the fire. They're hinting that an April rate hike isn't off the table if things get too hot. So much for patience, eh.
