RBC analysts expect the European Central Bank (ECB) to continue cutting interest rates:

Both the ECB and the Bank of England could lower rates by 25 basis points at each meeting until May 2025 if inflation continues to decline.

This prediction was made before the ECB’s meeting on Thursday.

After the recent ECB cut, RBC confirmed their forecast:

The ECB is not in a hurry.
Political risks, like a possible Trump presidency, may affect the currency’s strength.
Continued cuts could bring rates to neutral by the summer of 2025.
