On Tuesday, ECB Governing Council member Madis Muller said that “we’re closer to a point where the ECB can start cutting rates.”
He added that “data may confirm the inflation trend for the ECB’s June meeting.”
Just prior to his speaking. ECB Governing Council Member Fabio Panetta said that inflation was quickly falling to target and therefore there was a "consensus emerging" for a rate cut. His views were similar to that of the Bank of Greece Governor Yannis Stournaras.
ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane said on Tuesday that wage inflation – a metric the ECB is following very closely to inform its policy – was “on track” to coming back down to normal levels.
These dovish comments follow those from the Bank of France President Francois Villeroy de Galhau, who said April could even be in the frame for a first cut. Taken together with ECB President Christine Lagarde’s comments at the last ECB policy meeting, when she said the ECB would be reviewing policy on interest rates in June, the evidence is building to a compelling conclusion.
