The ECB Forced to Act Amid Deflationary Risks The European Central Bank is preparing to cut rates this week, facing an economic slowdown and mounting deflationary pressures. The global trade war initiated by Donald Trump—with universal tariffs of 10% and up to 145% on China—threatens global growth, especially in the eurozone, which heavily relies on exports. Core inflation has fallen back to 2.4%, close to the ECB’s target, while wage pressures are easing. In addition, the recent appreciation of the euro is lowering import costs, further fueling deflationary forces. Markets are anticipating a 25 basis point rate cut this week, with the deposit rate expected to fall between 1.5% and 1.75% by the end of 2025. $SPX500 (SPX500 Index (Non Expiry)) $FRA40 (FRA40 Index (Non Expiry)) $GER40 (GER40 Index (Non Expiry)) $UK100 (UK100 Index (Non Expiry)) $NL25 (Netherlands 25 Index (Non Expiry))
