The European Central Bank opened the door for further interest rate cuts. On Thursday, the European Central Bank cut interest rates for the fourth time this year and opened the door for further interest rate cuts in the future, because inflation is close to its target and the economy is still weak. The European Central Bank lowered the deposit interest rate from 3.25% to 3.0%, and cancelled the statement that the interest rate remained "sufficiently restrictive", suggesting that it was possible to cut interest rates further. The European Central Bank said: "The financial environment is easing, because the recent interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank have gradually reduced the new borrowing costs of enterprises and households." "But the financial environment is still very tight, because monetary policy is still restrictive, and past interest rate hikes are still being transmitted to outstanding stock credit."After the European Central Bank announced the interest rate decision, EUR/USD rose 15 points to 1.0484.The European Central Bank announced that it would cut three key interest rates in the euro zone. On the 12th local time, the European Central Bank held a monetary policy meeting at its headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, and decided to cut all three key interest rates by 25 basis points. This is also the fourth time that the European Central Bank cut interest rates this year after it announced a rate cut in June this year. According to the latest interest rate resolution announced by the European Central Bank, the deposit mechanism interest rate is reduced to 3.0%, the main refinancing interest rate is reduced to 3.15%, and the marginal lending interest rate is reduced to 3.40%.
