Thursday's ECB Hike Is Not a New Vote

TL;DR

Thursday's file has an ECB hike on energy; Friday has no second vote.

MSM Perspective

Thursday filed the hike. Friday does not re-vote it. 108 is not Frankfurt.

X Perspective

Feeds treat a recap as a new governing-council meeting.

The ECB hiked on energy in Thursday's file. [1] This paper printed that vote then. Friday has no second governing-council act in fetched copy. A Thursday hike is not a Friday vote. Friday's 108 print is not Frankfurt. Print Thursday. Do not print a new hike. Leave a named decision to the edition that owns a decision.

No Friday governing-council vote is in Frankfurt copy, so Thursday's hike remains Thursday's and oil is not a rate.
Thursday's hike is still Thursday's hike. Friday recap that treats 108 as Frankfurt is a feed, not a vote.
No second rate tent is in Friday's Frankfurt stack.
This edition will not invent a second ECB vote to fill a quiet Friday.
Friday is not a second rate tent.
