ATLANTA/ SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -U.S. central bankers broadly back two more big interest rate hikes in June and July, but what happens after is a matter of intense internal debate that turns in large part on differing views of how price pressures will play out in months ahead. To Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, once the Federal Reserve has delivered half-of-a-percentage point rate hikes as Chair Jerome Powell has signaled, "a pause in September might make sense." "I think a lot of it will depend on the ground dynamics that we are starting to see" both of the inflation the Fed is trying to contain and the impact of higher interest rates on the economy, he told the Rotary Club of Atlanta on Monday.

(Reuters) -JPMorgan Chase & Co lifted its forecast for interest income and affirmed its profitability target at its investor conference on Monday, sending its stock 6% higher despite persistent questions about how much more it will spend on its businesses. The country's largest lender said it expects net interest income (NII), excluding markets, of $56 billion in 2022. Investors are keeping a close eye on the prospects for banks to earn more from net interest income, the difference between income from loans and interest paid on deposits and other funds, as they benefit from higher interest rates.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -The European Central Bank is likely to lift its deposit rate out of negative territory by the end of September and could raise it further if it sees inflation stabilising at 2%, ECB President Christine Lagarde said on Monday. "Based on the current outlook, we are likely to be in a position to exit negative interest rates by the end of the third quarter," Lagarde said in a blog post published on the ECB's website. The ECB's deposit rate is currently -0.5%, meaning banks are charged to park cash at the central bank, and has been below zero since 2014 as the central bank fought too low inflation.

NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) -U.S. and European stocks rallied on Monday, with the S&P 500 for the moment moving away from a bear market, while the euro leapt after the European Central Bank said it was likely to lift its deposit rate out of negative territory by September. Oil prices slid and gold extended recent gains, but the dollar fell further as investors cut their bets on more greenback advances based on market expectations for rising yields as the Federal Reserve tightens money supply. Stocks on Wall Street also gained more than 1%, though the Nasdaq Composite initially lagged after briefly trading in the red.
