ChainCatcher News, Economists Barboni and Wells from Banco Central Europeu, said that the European Central Bank may abandon its more restrictive policy tendencies at the next meeting and instead send a signal of a more open attitude towards future rate cuts. This will lay the foundation for further rate cuts next year, but given recent calls by policymakers for a gradual approach, a significant 50 basis point rate cut in December seems unlikely. However, if economic data continues to disappoint or inflation falls faster in early 2025, it could mean that the European Central Bank will accelerate rate cuts.
