He mentioned that recent sentiment indicators point to better conditions ahead and that the German stimulus is another positive driver for future growth outlook. Despite this forecast, the central bank won’t respond to small or short-term deviations from their 2% inflation target.The market is not pricing any rate adjustment this year as the ECB is expected to keep the policy rate at 2.00%. The economic data has been supporting the patient stance as inflation came lower than expected (but still a bit above target) and activity indicators like the PMIs showed resilient growth.

💡 DMK Insight
The ECB’s focus on maintaining flexibility is crucial right now, especially with mixed economic signals. While sentiment indicators hint at a slight upward bias, the substantial downside risks can’t be ignored. Traders should be aware that the ECB’s commitment to a 2% inflation target means any significant deviation could trigger swift policy adjustments. This is particularly relevant as Germany’s stimulus measures and a healthy savings rate could support growth, but if inflation pressures rise unexpectedly, the ECB might pivot quickly. Watch for any comments from ECB officials in the coming weeks, as they could provide insights into future policy moves. Key levels to monitor include the EUR/USD pair, which could react sharply to any shifts in ECB guidance, especially if it approaches recent highs or lows.
📮 Takeaway
Keep an eye on ECB communications and the EUR/USD levels; any signs of inflation deviation could lead to swift market reactions.
