Deutsche Bank now forecasts the European Central Bank (ECB) will deliver an additional 25 basis point rate hike in December, following its September move, as persistent energy risks weigh on inflation outlooks. The bank’s research arm had previously projected the deposit facility rate would peak at 2.5% (currently at 2.25%), but now notes these assumptions are under challenge. While ongoing conflict in Iran poses upside risks to inflation, the eurozone labor market remains relatively soft, with almost no evidence so far that broader price pressures are driving wage growth. Although the bank now views a terminal rate of 2.75% as more likely, it points out that faster easing of geopolitical tensions and weakening growth could keep the rate cap at 2.5%, while a breach of 3% lacks justification in the absence of broader inflationary pressures. The ECB is scheduled to announce its interest rate decision on September 10, with a rate hike widely expected by markets at that time.

Future Asset Securities analyst Kim Young-gun stated that Samsung Electronics’ expansion of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) shipments for AI applications is expected to offset the slowdown in growth of general-purpose memory chips next year. Samsung’s HBM shipment capacity and average selling price (ASP) are projected to surge by 57% and 49% respectively in 2027, outpacing the forecasted growth rates of 16% and 20% for general-purpose memory chips. Future Asset expects Samsung’s earnings to be weighed down by a stronger Korean won against the U.S. dollar, though its overall profitability will remain solid. The firm cut its operating profit forecast for Samsung by 5.7% to 370.057 trillion won for 2026, and by 4.2% to 535.682 trillion won for 2027.
