Meeting of 18-19 March 2026-Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank
April 16, 2026-Held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 18-19 March 2026
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options-Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel started her presentation by noting that the period after the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 4-5 February 2026 could be divided into two distinct phases.
In the first phase, up to the start of the war in the Middle East, the low-volatility and strong risk appetite environment had remained in place.
In the second phase, when energy prices had surged in response to the war, volatility had increased in equity markets and especially in bond markets, and there had been sell-offs in both risk asset markets and bond markets.
Brent crude oil prices had surged above USD 100 per barrel to levels last seen after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Natural gas prices had also increased substantially, but had remained well below their 2022 levels. At the same time, the Brent crude oil futures curve had shown historically high backwardation -a strong negative slope - suggesting that traders were expecting the spike in oil prices to be reversed quickly.
