ECB cautious about making additional interest rate cuts despite economic concerns
ECB President Christine Lagarde stated that the bank needs to ensure inflation is firmly under control before making any further rate cuts
Eurozone inflation rate eased to 2.5% in June from 2.6% in May
Germany reported an annual inflation rate of 2.4% in May, marking a five-month high
Money markets predict two more interest rate cuts of 25 basis points each this year, no cut expected at ECB's meeting on July 18
The Eurozone's inflation rate eased to 2.5% in June, according to data released by Eurostat on Tuesday. This figure is down from the previous month's reading of 2.6%. The decrease in inflation comes as the European Central Bank (ECB) remains cautious about making additional interest rate cuts despite concerns over slowing economic growth.
Germany, the largest economy in the Eurozone, reported an annual inflation rate of 2.4% in May, marking a five-month high. However, key indicators such as services prices and factory activity suggest that inflation may remain between 2% and 3% for some time.
ECB President Christine Lagarde has stated that the bank needs to first ensure that inflation is firmly under control before making any further rate cuts. She also noted that the jobs market remains strong, with low unemployment levels, indicating that the economy is holding up despite higher interest rates.
Despite this cautious stance from the ECB, money markets predict two more interest rate cuts of 25 basis points each this year. However, no cut is expected at the bank's meeting on July 18.
The focus for financial markets in the coming week will be on key economic data releases such as EU inflation and US jobs data. The UK general election will also be a significant event to watch.

ECB is not planning to make more rate cuts despite inflation being above its favored level. Growth in the eurozone economy has been near-zero for several quarters with a modest upturn of 0.3% in the first quarter of this year.
Accuracy Inflation in the Eurozone decreased to 2.5% in June from 2.6% in May. Europe's economy slowed due to an outbreak of inflation caused by higher energy prices, which led to increased prices for other goods and services. Deception
