[basis: absence] Claim predicts ECB will NOT deliver a market-moving hawkish policy surprise at Jackson Hole within the window 2026-08-26 to 2026-09-02. Two differently-phrased searches ('ECB Jackson Hole hawkish surprise', 'ECB official statement rate hike Jackson Hole 2026') found no official- or wire-tier report of any ECB official delivering a hawkish surprise. The hawkish surprise event that did occur in the window was from Fed Governor Warsh ('Warsh Strikes Hawkish Tone at Jackson Hole, German Bond Yields Surge' - finance.biggo.com, other-tier, Aug 31), not from any ECB official. Euro moves cited (e.g. 'Euro gains on hawkish ECB policy outlook' FXStreet) reflect market speculation/positioning, not a confirmed ECB announcement. No past-tense confirmation of an ECB hawkish surprise found. Therefore the 'NOT' claim holds.
