European Equities Close Higher As Traders Bank On Imminent ECB Rate Cut: What's Driving Markets Monday?
European equities ended Monday broadly positive, while the U.S. market was closed for the Memorial Day holiday.
歐洲股市週一收盤普遍樂觀，而美國市場因陣亡將士紀念日假期休市。
Traders maintained an overall positive risk sentiment on European assets, driven by near-total certainty that the European Central Bank (ECB) will deliver a rate cut at its June meeting.
交易員對歐洲資產的總體風險情緒保持樂觀，這得益於幾乎完全確定歐洲央行（ECB）將在6月的會議上降息。
Three key ECB members — chief economist Philip Lane, Finland Central Bank governor Olli Rehn and France Central Bank governor François Villeroy de Galhau — made reassuring statements indicating a rate cut is imminent.
歐洲央行的三位主要成員——首席經濟學家菲利普·萊恩、芬蘭央行行長奧利·雷恩和法國央行行長弗朗索瓦·維勒羅伊·德加爾豪——發表了令人放心的聲明，表明降息迫在眉睫。
- "A June rate cut is appropriate if the inflation outlook holds," Lane said.
- "Inflation is converging to our 2% target in a sustained way, making it the right time in June to ease the monetary policy stance and start cutting rates," Rehn said.
- "Barring a surprise, a June rate cut is a done deal," Villeroy said.
- 萊恩說：“如果通貨膨脹前景不變，6月份的降息是適當的。”
- 雷恩說：“通貨膨脹率正在持續接近我們的2％的目標，這使得6月份是放鬆貨幣政策立場和開始降息的合適時機。”
- 維勒羅伊說：“除非出人意料，否則6月份的降息已經完成。”
Traders now almost fully price in a June rate cut and expect a total of 65 basis points in cuts (more than two cuts but less than three) by the end of the year.
交易員現在幾乎對6月份的降息進行了全面的定價，並預計到年底共將降息65個點子（超過兩次降息但不到三次降息）。
