ECB's Policy Path and Potential Second Rate Cut in September

The ECB kept its policy unchanged following a rate cut in June, with President Lagarde indicating that data will determine September's decision. Market insights suggest alignment with a potential second ECB rate cut next month. Factors such as evolving data, downplayed inflation and wage growth, and favorable inflation expectations can influence this decision. Risks of persistent services inflation from tourism and live events like concerts are being monitored, potentially delaying future rate cuts.
