Ecb finally aligns with the Fed after holding interest rates for the first time in a year

The ECB maintained its interest rate at 2%, marking a cautious step as it refrains from further cuts after previous reductions. This decision is closely tied to the latest trade dynamics with the U.S., which could impact imported goods from the EU.

With U.S. Imports from the EU reaching 503 billion euros, the potential imposition of tariffs could disrupt trade relations. The ECB’s next steps will likely depend on the outcome of ongoing negotiations and inflation assessments.
