The labyrinth of the European Central Bank's policies: the triangle game of interest rate cuts, inflation, and stimulus.
The European Central Bank may once again cut interest rates this Thursday (March 6), but there is a concern within that further easing could unintentionally lead the bank into a stimulating policy territory while inflation is not yet fully eliminated. This concern reflects the difficult choices faced by the central bank in the current complex economic and political environment. 1. The game between interest rate cuts and inflation Almost no one doubts that the European Central Bank will cut interest rates again this week, but this decision is not without controversy. Some officials within the bank are worried that further easing before inflation is fully eliminated may shift the policy from "restrictive" to "stimulative". This concern makes it challenging for central bank officials to formulate policy.

Eurozone Manufacturing PMI Hits Two-year High in February
Opening the "green light" for interest rate cuts? The eurozone's February CPI increased by 2.4% year-on-year, with a significant decline in service sector inflation.
Analysis suggests that although the overall inflation data is slightly higher than expected, the decline in service sector inflation has opened a "green light" for the European Central Bank to further lower interest rates. Since June of last year, the ECB has cut rates five times in a row, and the market widely expects a further reduction of 25 basis points this week, with attention on whether the ECB will continue to describe its stance as "restrictive" this week.
