He added that policymakers would take a data-dependent decision in September, and he described the balance of further tightening as mixed. Kazāks also said forward guidance was counterproductive given uncertainty, while wage growth was seen easing gradually and inflation expectations remaining anchored near target. In markets, the euro showed little immediate reaction to the remarks. Still, it was up 0.26% at about 1.1710 against the US dollar, with the greenback softer in European trade.
