Traders are increasingly betting that the European Central Bank (ECB) will need to take more forceful action to cut interest rates due to economic pressures from potential U.S. tariffs and regional political turmoil. With expectations of a quarter-point rate cut this Thursday, market speculation suggests three additional cuts by year-end may be on the horizon, pushing the deposit rate down to 2%. Concerns over a weakening euro and increased demand for hedging against further depreciation are influencing trading strategies, as market players prepare for deeper ECB cuts in an effort to bolster growth.
