No Data
ECB's governing committee is bullish on two interest rate cuts this year and expects rates to possibly fall by another 100 basis points next year.
Ren said, "If you look at the market data, you will find that this means there will be two more interest rate cuts this year, and by the end of this year, the interest rate will be 3.25%." "As long as we can see that the process of deflation is continuing and prices are moving towards our medium-term symmetric target of 2%, there is reason to continue cutting interest rates."
