The likelihood of an ECB rate cut in December increases, with inflation and trade risks drawing attention. Barclays economist Mariano Senna stated that slowing European economic growth and falling inflation suggest the ECB may cut interest rates by 25 basis points in December. The impact of trade headwinds and supply chain disruptions on inflation is expected to diminish by year-end, and the 2026 fiscal plan is not expected to trigger inflationary pressures. Senna emphasized the need to maintain policy flexibility to address the risk of lower-than-expected inflation. Barclays has withdrawn its September rate cut forecast. (Dow Jones)
