ECB President Christine Lagarde stressed that there is still an opportunity for additional easing because inflation has dropped to 1.9%, which is below the 2% target. Inflation is expected to return to 2% by 2027, although the ECB also lowered its 2026 inflation projection to 1.6%. Because of the uncertainties surrounding U.S. trade policies, the ECB is still cautious, even if analysts expect more rate reductions. Read More..
