Central Bank Decisions and Impact
Anticipation is building around central bank meetings scheduled for next week, particularly focusing on the European Central Bank (ECB). An expected 50 basis point rate cut is seen as necessary due to lower-than-forecast inflation outcomes post-U.S. election results. However, uncertainty remains about the ECB's confidence in its growth outlook, with risks skewed to the downside for the euro. If the ECB opts for a more dovish stance, it could lead to significant market reactions, especially since a hawkish message amid poor growth prospects is likely to be viewed negatively.
