Summary

  • ECB meets on Jan. 30 and rate cut is seen a done deal
  • Markets see 4 moves in 2025
  • Policymakers back gradual easing towards neutral policy setting

FRANKFURT, Jan 22 (Reuters) - European Central Bank policymakers lined up behind further interest rate cuts on Wednesday, indicating that next week's reduction is all but a done deal and further moves will also come even if the U.S. Federal Reserve remains cautious.

Having cut rates four times already in response to weak growth and falling inflation, the ECB is expected to keep moving quickly in 2025 with traders even increasing rate cut bets this week after U.S. President Donald Trump did not announce much feared trade tariffs against the bloc.
