The European Central Bank is expected to leave borrowing costs unchanged for a fourth consecutive meeting at its last policy gathering of 2025, since policy makers judge that the current policy stance \u201cbest suits\u201d the present state of economic affairs.<\/p>\n\n
Inflation across Eurozone virtually met the central bank\u2019s 2% target in November, hovering merely by a tenth of a percent higher, at the 2.1% level, showcasing that the ECB\u2019s tightening campaign has brought the desired results to reality. Given the development, market forecasters went and did what they always do, which is mentally time travel into the future and calibrate that future expectation into present day valuations.

Besides the decision therefore, of great importance will be the speech from President Lagarde but also the ECB\u2019s outlook for 2026, which will confirm whether forecasters\u2019 rate hike scenario holds any validity and\/or whether ECB policymakers see such a possibility becoming reality.<\/p>\n\n
