Analyst: The interest rate of the European Central Bank will be pushed to the low end of the neutral range. Marchel Alexandrovich, an economist at Saltmarsh Economics, said that the European Central Bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points again, which is the fourth time in this easing cycle. The monetary policy statement reiterated that the Committee would not commit to a specific interest rate path in advance. However, the new forecast shows that the core inflation rate is 1.9% in 2026 and 2027, which indicates that interest rates may continue to push to the low end of the neutral range.The European Central Bank opened the door for further interest rate cuts. On Thursday, the European Central Bank cut interest rates for the fourth time this year and opened the door for further interest rate cuts in the future, because inflation is close to its target and the economy is still weak. The European Central Bank lowered the deposit interest rate from 3.25% to 3.0%, and cancelled the statement that the interest rate remained "sufficiently restrictive", suggesting that it was possible to cut interest rates further. The European Central Bank said: "The financial environment is easing, because the recent interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank have gradually reduced the new borrowing costs of enterprises and households." "But the financial environment is still very tight, because monetary policy is still restrictive, and past interest rate hikes are still being transmitted to outstanding stock credit."Indian government sources: negotiations on a free trade agreement between India and Britain will begin at the end of January next year.
