ECB VIEW: Danske Join Growing List Of Analysts Looking For No More ECB Cuts

Aug-01 12:12
  • Danske Bank have removed their call for a final September cut and now expect no further ECB easing in 2025 and 2026, with the deposit rate at 2%.
  • “The euro area economy has shown surprising resilience over the summer, with the outlook bolstered by the EU-US deal and accelerated German spending plans.”
  • “Risks are still tilted towards a final cut later this year or in early 2026. Further softening of wage indicators could open the door for a final 'insurance cut'.”
  • ECB-dated OIS currently has a cumulative 12.5bp of cuts priced by year-end and 17bp for March.
  • The Jul 24 ECB decision and press conference has helped prompt an increased number of analysts looking for no further cuts. We currently see Berenberg, Commerzbank, Danske, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Nomura, Nordea, Rabobank, RBC and Santander looking for such.
