FRANKFURT — The European Central Bank raised its key deposit rate to an all-time high, but signaled that it thinks it has done enough to end the worst bout of inflation in four decades. “Based on its current assessment, the Governing Council considers that the key ECB interest rates have reached levels that, maintained for a sufficiently long duration, will make a substantial contribution to the timely return of inflation to the target,” the ECB said in a statement.The move showed that, in the near term at least, the bank is still more concerned about inflation staying above target than about risking a recession. “The ECB didn’t blink in the face of growing speculation that it would hit pause on the rate-hiking cycle,” said UBS economist Dean Turner after the announcement.  “We expect this to be the last hike from the ECB in this cycle, but that does not mean the era of tight monetary policy is over.
