According to Odaily, Andrew Kenningham, an analyst at Capital Economics, stated in a recent report that the European Central Bank (ECB) might adopt a more aggressive approach in its upcoming policy meeting by implementing a significant rate cut. A survey released on Thursday indicated that private sector activity in the Eurozone remained stagnant this month, highlighting severe economic weakness as the final quarter of the year begins.
Kenningham noted that inflation is cooling down, which could lead the ECB to conclude that its policies no longer need to restrict economic activity. This suggests that the ECB might opt for a 50 basis point rate cut at its December meeting, a more substantial reduction compared to the previous 25 basis point cut.#indexcut #ECB #Eurozone #economicweakness #inflation #ratecut #Decembermeeting
🚀 Citigroup Economists Predict Federal Reserve Rate Cuts Amid Global Economic Weakness

According to Odaily, a team of economists led by Andrew Hollenhorst at Citigroup has projected that a relaxed labor market will alleviate inflationary pressures in the service sector, while global economic weakness is expected to suppress commodity prices. This economic environment is anticipated to prompt the Federal Reserve to adopt an aggressive approach, with expectations of a 25 basis point rate cut at each meeting until July next year. This would bring the federal funds rate down to a range between 3% and 3.25%.
This forecast is significantly lower than market expectations, which predict the federal funds rate to be around 4% by that time. The economists' analysis suggests that the combination of a softening labor market and subdued global conditions will create a conducive environment for the Federal Reserve to implement these rate cuts. The anticipated reduction in interest rates is seen as a response to the need for stimulating economic activity amid ongoing global uncertainties and inflationary challenges in the service sector.#Citigroup #FederalReserve #RateCuts #EconomicWeakness #Inflation #LaborMarket #CommodityPrices #InterestRates #Stimulus

According to Jin10, Macklem emphasized that if the economic downturn is driven by a decline in production capacity rather than a cyclical drop in demand, lowering rates could exacerbate inflation.
