ECB’s Vujčić: Market expectation for three more rate cuts this year not unreasonable
European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Boris Vujčić noted on Thursday that the market is pricing in three more rate cuts this year and added that those expectations are not unreasonable, per Reuters.
He also said that the ECB could remove the reference to 'restrictive policy' already in March policy statement and explained that rate cut predictions are based on expectations for a quick fall in services inflation in the coming months.
Market reaction
These comments don't seem to be having a noticeable impact on the Euro's performance against its rivals. At the time of press, EUR/USD was up 0.55% on the day at 1.0438.
