ECB Policymaker Suggests Possible Rate Cut in June

On Tuesday, European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Olli Rehn hinted at the possibility of a rate cut in June if the macroeconomic assessment confirms an inflation convergence towards the ECB’s target.

Rehn emphasized that future rate decisions will aim to maintain policy rates at a sufficiently restrictive level as long as necessary, with the assumption that there are no further setbacks, particularly in geopolitics and energy prices.
