Traders anticipate conclusion of rate-cutting cycle by European central banks

Traders are increasingly betting that the interest rate cuts by European central banks are coming to an end. Predictions indicate these banks will likely keep rates stable through 2026, shifting from a previous sentiment of expected significant rate reductions.

Mike Riedel of Fidelity International noted that many central banks have already lowered rates several times and are not considering further cuts. Instead, some may even implement rate hikes, reflecting a significant shift in market sentiment regarding future monetary policy.
