The ECB is in no rush. In June, President Lagarde would not confirm that the rate cut signalled the start of the ‘dialling back restrictiveness’ phase of the rates cycle.

ECB to leave policy unchanged in July “The ECB is not on a pre-determined path. We expect the ECB to avoid explicit guidance again in July. The underlying direction of travel should nevertheless be clear. As inflation converges towards target, the restrictive monetary policy stance will unwind further.
” “Our baseline remains two more 25bp cuts in 2024, in September and December. A cut in September is not a done deal. Recent data suggest the ECB staff need to revise the near-term inflation outlook higher. However, a cut in September remains the most likely outcome. We continue to see the terminal rate in a landing zone of 2.00-2.50% in late-25/early-26.
