- EUR/USD trades cautiously as the Euro (EUR) exhibits a subdued performance, with investors focusing on the ECB’s interest rate policy. The ECB is widely anticipated to cut interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) on Thursday. This will be the second interest rate cut decision by the ECB in its current policy-easing cycle, which the bank started in June but left borrowing rates unchanged in July.
- Though investors seem confident about the ECB resuming its policy-easing process, market participants will majorly focus on the monetary policy statement and ECB President Christine Lagarde’s press conference to get cues about the likely policy action for the remainder of the year.
- Lagarde is expected to deliver a dovish interest rate guidance as the annual Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) of the Eurozone’s largest nation, Germany, has returned to the bank’s target of 2% in August. Also, German economic growth is vulnerable due to the poor demand environment. The scenario of declining inflation and worsening economic conditions paves the way for an expansionary monetary policy stance.
- Currently, financial market participants expect that the ECB will cut interest rates one more time in the last quarter of this year.
