ECB VIEW: Barclays No Longer Expect July Cut

ECB VIEW

Barclays no longer expect the ECB to cut rates at its July meeting, but continue to see three cuts in 2024.

  • “Faced with elevated uncertainty and activity accelerating faster than anticipated, we now think the GC will move more gradually this year”.
  • They continue to expect cuts at the June, September and December meetings, but note that non-forecast meetings remain live given the ECB’s data dependency.
  • “We continue to expect a cutting cycle of 150bp overall, with the deposit rate finishing at 2.5%, as our views about the neutral rate level have not changed”.
