On December 14, the Financial Times analysis pointed out that given European Central Bank President Lagarde's view that the bank is in a "good state," investors are unanimously expecting the ECB to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2% next week and are shifting their focus to its economic forecasts. Lagarde stated this week that policymakers might raise their growth forecasts for the Eurozone again at the meeting. These stronger growth forecasts and persistent inflation have recently led traders to increase bets on the ECB raising interest rates next year. However, due to ongoing debate over a potential shift in monetary policy direction and the fact that swap market pricing has only recently reflected this change in recent weeks, traders will pay close attention to clues about the timing of rate hikes, and any adjustments to policy signals are expected to be subtle. George Morant, Eurozone economist at Royal Bank of Canada Capital Markets, said he expects the European Central Bank will not raise interest rates in 2026. #美联储降息
