[Analyst: European Central Bank to Raise Rates in June, Policy Direction to Reverse by 2027] Jin10 News, April 24 – Analysts indicate that the European Central Bank (ECB) will raise interest rates once in June in response to the Iran situation, and then reverse this move next year to safeguard economic growth. In a survey conducted by the institution, all respondents except one believe that the ECB will keep the deposit rate unchanged at 2% on April 30, but will raise it by 25 basis points in subsequent meetings as new forecasts more clearly reveal the economic impact of this conflict. Among those expecting a rate hike in June, half also predict at least one rate cut by the end of 2027. The median forecast suggests that the deposit rate will return to 2% by September of that year.
