ECBENERGY-SHOCK DEMAND DESTRUCTION

ECB's Lane Says Energy-Shock Demand Destruction May Limit Required Rate Tightening

European Central Bank Chief Economist Philip Lane said the latest energy-price surge creates both upside inflation risks and downside growth risks, with weaker demand potentially limiting how much monetary policy needs to tighten. Lane said underlying inflation indicators do not yet show a persistent upward shift in medium-term inflation and described the appropriate policy approach as a measured 'middle path'. Higher energy costs can suppress household and business demand even as they lift headline prices, complicating the ECB's response after two rate increases during the summer.
