Quick Glance: Inflation down in German states, signaling national decline
  • Inflation fell in six economically essential German states in March, indicating that national inflation will continue its downward trend.

  • Economists will closely monitor national inflation data as Germany releases its figures a day before the Eurozone inflation data on Wednesday.

  • German companies expected the lowest prices in three years in March, with forecasts of inflation falling below the European Central Bank's target in the upcoming months.

  • An increasing number of ECB policymakers have backed rate cuts, with a June meeting appearing as the most probable time for action, although a meeting is also scheduled for this month.

Fight against inflation: ECB leaves key interest rate untouched
Quick Glance: ECB Keeps Rates Stable: Inflation at 2% by 2025
  • The European Central Bank (ECB) kept its benchmark interest rates steady in March, anticipating a further decline in inflation. Price pressures are expected to reach the target of 2% by 2025.

  • The latest ECB staff projections suggest that inflation is projected to average 2.3% in 2024, followed by 2.0% in 2025 and 1.9% in 2026. Despite easing measures of core inflation, persistent domestic price pressures remain, partly due to strong wage growth.

  • The ECB reiterated its data-dependent approach, intending to evaluate economic data to determine the appropriate path of its policies. Market reactions to the new ECB staff projections saw a weakening of the euro against the dollar and a decrease in sovereign bond yields across the eurozone.

  • European equity indices surged, driven by heightened expectations of rate cuts following the updated ECB staff projections. Investors are eagerly anticipating statements from ECB President Lagarde, scheduled to commence at 14:45 CET.

ECB chief Lagarde lays out three-part test for rate cuts
Quick Glance: ECB: Lagarde Emphasizes Data-Dependent Rate Policy
  • The European Central Bank (ECB) cannot pre-determine the number of interest rate cuts that will follow even after initiating rate reductions, as this will rely on incoming data, stated ECB President Christine Lagarde on Wednesday.

  • Several ECB policymakers are in favor of an initial reduction in interest rates from their current record highs, potentially in June. The current focus of discussion lies in determining the subsequent steps.

  • Lagarde aimed to temper speculations by highlighting the necessity of data-driven decisions. She stressed that even after the first rate cut, a fixed rate path cannot be predetermined. Adapting to new information from meeting to meeting is crucial.

  • Lagarde outlined the prerequisites for commencing rate cuts: deceleration in wage growth, ongoing decline in inflation, and internal forecasts confirming the return of price growth to the 2% target.
