|Rabobank analysts expects the ECB to maintain the deposit rate at 2.00% through 2026, with two rate hikes anticipated in March and June 2027.

ECB policy outlook and Euro performance
"We expect the ECB to leave the deposit rate unchanged at 2.00%."
"The burden of proof for any cut or hike is very high. We see the ECB on hold through 2026."
"The euro’s gains may draw some verbal intervention, but we believe the currency can appreciate quite a bit further before it would warrant another cut."
