ECB's Lane warns energy cost persistence could curb spending
ECB's Lane warns sustained energy price increases may curb autumn consumption. Odds of consecutive ECB rate hikes are slightly over 50%.

Lane stated that if the climb in energy costs continues, it may affect spending in the autumn, but the situation remains uncertain.
