In view of the weak macroeconomic outlook, the market generally expects the ECB to cut interest rates by 25 basis points again at tonight's meeting, so the focus will be on the central bank's economic forecast. We expect the ECB to keep its growth expectations unchanged this year, still at 0.9%, and the growth forecast for next year will fall to 0.9%, while the forecast for 2027 will rise slightly to 1.4%. Inflation forecasts are also expected to be significantly lowered, with the overall and core inflation forecasts for next year likely to fall to 1.7% and 1.8% respectively, due to the recent slowdown in the euro zone wage growth , strengthening the euro and falling energy prices.
As policy guidance may be limited tonight, we believe that the ECB's economic forecast correction will provide the most important signal for the future trend, and we still expect the ECB to finally cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 1.75% in July. Nevertheless, we believe that the risk balance tends to cut further interest rates in light of continued trade tensions, which may escalate again before the U.S.-European trade agreement set by Trump.
We expect the ECB to cut interest rates by 25 basis points this week, but given the ease of trade tensions, we expect the ECB to cut interest rates by 25 basis points this week, but given the ease of trade tensions, we expect the ECB to The next rate cut will be delayed until September (or later), thus providing more time for data collection. We believe that most www.stofoco.committee members will not support direct stimulus measures. New economic forecasts will show that overall inflation will be below target due to falling energy prices and strengthening the euro. GDP forecasts for 2025-2026 should also be lowered, with risks skewing downward.
We do not rule out the possibility of ending interest rate cuts after June or another rate cut in December, depending on events and data. As overall inflation is only temporarily below target, the ECB faces the option of “ignoring” deviations or taking more aggressive measures to protect inflation expectations. Historical experience shows that the ECB may be more inclined toward the latter.
The internal debate of the ECB in June is alsoIt provides reference for the upcoming strategic assessment, which calls for "stable" in the face of uncertainty, contrary to previous calls for "agile". This means that defining a clear response function can be challenging because there is uncertainty about the acceptable magnitude of deviation and the duration of achieving the target and target variables. We expect core inflation to remain the key to ECB policy.
Bank U.S. Securities said that as the market expects the US dollar to continue to weaken, emerging market assets are expected to bring several percentage points of return this year. "We have every reason to maintain the full-year double-digit returns of emerging markets. We believe the dollar is the most important driver and expect the U.S. long-term market to stabilize." Bank of America Securities is optimistic about Eastern European currencies and stocks. Brazil remains its preferred investment location in the fixed income market, as the country's interest rate levels are very high and may start cutting interest rates by the end of this year. Currently, the dollar is approaching its lowest level in two years. Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, also believe that the dollar will further weaken due to the possible Fed rate cut, slowing economic growth and the continued uncertainty of fiscal and trade policies, which may accelerate the flow of funds from U.S. assets to developing countries.
The unexpected acceleration of the Canadian core CPI recently announced has forced the market to significantly reduce the suppression of the Bank of Canada's interest rate cuts tonight. Although the annualized GDP growth rate in the first quarter rebounded beyond expectations, the median and cut-off averages of core CPI rose to a high in 13 months in April, with the average of the two indicators reaching 3.15%, far exceeding the target range of 1-3% set by the central bank. Currently, the interest rate market is expected to be decided to stay on track tonight, keeping the policy interest rate at 2.75%, and believes that the probability of a rate cut in July is about 67%, and the time for a certainty will be delayed until the September meeting.
I think the guidance of Bank of Canada Governor McClum after the resolution is released is crucial. At the April meeting, the central bank's policy statement emphasized three focus points, namely the transmission effect of US tariff policies on Canadian exports and economic growth, the impact of rising costs on consumer prices, and the evolution of inflation expectations. His policy position at that time was clearly "acting with caution" to balance growth support and inflation control.
In the long run, I still tend to sell the US and Canada at high prices. But there is indeed a possibility of unexpected rises in the short term. From a technical perspective, although the US dollar against the Canadian dollar had previously hit its lowest level since October last year, it has quickly gained support after falling below 1.37 twice in recent days, and the price trend has formed a downward wedge pattern. The 14th-day RSI formed a bullish divergence with the price trend, indicating that the current downward action energy was exhausted. On the upward trend, the key resistance was seen at 1.3750, this is also the boundary line of long and short. After the breakthrough, there may be a possibility of testing the upper wedge rail of 1.39 and 200-day moving average, but during the rise, you still need to pay attention to the resistance of 1.38 and 1.3850. On the downside, if 1.3675 falls, it may cause the interest of shorts entering the market, with the targets pointing to 1.3650, 1.3540 and 1.3419.
