(Reuters) - Citigroup expects the European Central Bank to hike rates by 50 basis points each in March and May to push its policy rates to about 4% by July.

Economists led by Arnaud Marès said this course of action by the ECB will more likely result in overtightening of rates to tame record high inflation.
