(CCTV News)The European Central Bank opened the door for further interest rate cuts. On Thursday, the European Central Bank cut interest rates for the fourth time this year and opened the door for further interest rate cuts in the future, because inflation is close to its target and the economy is still weak. The European Central Bank lowered the deposit interest rate from 3.25% to 3.0%, and cancelled the statement that the interest rate remained "sufficiently restrictive", suggesting that it was possible to cut interest rates further. The European Central Bank said: "The financial environment is easing, because the recent interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank have gradually reduced the new borrowing costs of enterprises and households." "But the financial environment is still very tight, because monetary policy is still restrictive, and past interest rate hikes are still being transmitted to outstanding stock credit."Traders' interest rate expectations for the European Central Bank remain stable: it is expected to cut interest rates by 127 basis points in 2025.
