The ECB cut rates but does not commit to a path of future rate moves:
- ECBs expects growth to pick up to 0.9% in 2024 vs 0.7% prev.
- Inflation forecast 2.5% in 2024 (vs 2.3% prev), 2.2% in 2025 (versus 2.1% prev) and 1.9% in 2026 (vs 1.9% prev).
- Growth forecast 1.4% in 2025 vs 1.5% prev. and 1.6% in 2026 vs 1.6% prev.
October is fully priced for a rate cut.
The EURUSD has traded marginally higher after the rate decision and the lack of pre-commitment from the ECB in their commentary..
