ECB vs. inflation
ECB summit: Can cut at every meeting in the future

The European Central Bank can cut interest rates at every upcoming meeting, ECB chief Francois Villeroy de Galhau tells Bloomberg TV.

He sees the inflation target of 2 percent in sight despite Trump's tariff threat, which in that case opens the way for the deposit rate to be cut from the current 3 percent to 2 percent by the summer.

- If we are determined regarding the pace of the cuts, we do not need to increase the size of each cut, Villeroy de Galhau adds.

Bank: Uncertainty is a conscious trade strategy for Trump

Donald Trump may have waited with the tariffs, but the new administration's ambitions in this area are extensive and should not be underestimated. George Saravelos, head of currency analysis at Deutsche Bank, writes in a market letter.

Among other things, it may be relevant to revoke China's trade status and the trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, according to the analysis.

“What is clear from this event is that there is an intention to create ambiguity around tariff policy with an extremely wide range of possible outcomes,” writes Saravelos.
