I think it's okay to believe that the effectiveness of these measures in 2025 remains uncertain. While lower rates can spur borrowing and investment, they may not fully counterbalance the impacts of increased tariffs and heightened market competitiveness. The interplay between monetary policy and external economic pressures will be crucial in determining the success of these interventions. On the other hand, there seems to be some good opportunity for speculators😉

A sale of new 30-year Italian bonds has drawn more than €130 billion ($144 billion) in orders as investors hurry to secure the highest yields in the region before the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to cut interest rates later this week. Italy's Treasury is offering €8 billion worth of bonds due to mature in October 2054, with pricing set at 13 basis points above comparable bonds. The demand has surpassed the previous record set in 2020, just after the pandemic began, when the ECB was actively purchasing bonds to boost the economy. Italian bond yields have declined in recent months as the ECB has begun a cycle of rate cuts, with policymakers likely to lower the deposit rate by another 0.25% to 3.5% on Thursday. Markets anticipate six more rate cuts by the end of next year, as inflation remains close to the ECB's 2% target. #fixedincome #bonds #markets #ecb #fed #crypto #bitcoin

Weekly Newsflash ⚡ Key Highlights 🎯 👉 The European Central Bank and Bank of Canada have initiated the easing cycle, each cutting rates by 25bps. 👉 Despite #inflation remaining, interestingly, above their 2% targets. Next up is the Federal Reserve with their meeting this Wednesday, where the market expects no changes. The Bank of Japan follows on the 14th, midway through the #G7 meeting in Italy. The Bank of England (#BOE) concludes the series on the 20th. The most surprising move could come from the BOE, which politically have nothing to lose. This contrast with the Federal Reserve, which is navigating a polarized landscape ahead of the #US elections in November. It is also debatable to what extent a rate cut could feed through into the economy before November, aside from boosting higher #stock prices. The Jackson Hole symposium in August is expected to be a more likely venue for discussing changes and strategy. #Comment by Jack Loudoun Chief Investment Officer at REYL Overseas #Centralbanks #ECB #Fed #Interestrates #CPI #Finance #Euro #USA REYL Intesa Sanpaolo Roger Groebli Natacha Chiara EBENER Jacqueline Benz Xiaoying (Sunny) W.

The Swiss franc has weakened following the Swiss National Bank's decision to lower the policy rate ahead of the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve. The SNB's move takes into account reduced inflationary pressures and the appreciation of the Swiss franc in recent quarters. The rate cut is aimed at supporting economic activity and maintaining favourable monetary conditions. https://lnkd.in/gbgN2YkB

The Swiss National Bank cut interest rates by 0.25% for the second successive time. What did we learn from them? 1) They are happy with a 1% inflation rate 2) Their neutral rate is at 1% so we can expect a further 0.25% rate cut, 3) they are concerned about global instability.

After the ECB signalled an accelerated easing pace last week, we also expect the BoC to follow suit in their upcoming policy decision. https://loom.ly/MidOC_A #ecb #euro #bankofcanada #boc #loonie #policydecision #fxmarkets #foreignexchange #financialservices #fxtraders

For the first time since 2019, European Central Bank cuts interest rates. In today’s meeting, ECB decided to cut the rate by 25 basis points: the rate on deposits will now be 3.75%. It is a ground-breaking decision, because it has been long sought after by: for the first time since Christine Lagarde is at the helm of the bank, we have seen interest rates not rising. However, Mrs. Lagarde is not very optimistic on the inflationary process: in the press conference following the decision to cut rates, she expressed concerns regarding the path inflation will take, saying the road will be bumped in the next few months. How do you think Italy and Europe’s economy will be impacted by inflation, should it be on the rise in the next few months? #ecb #bce #lagarde #rates #italy #europe #eu
