Interest rates have remained unchanged since September, and the ECB has backed away from talks about rate cuts, emphasizing that even if the next move is the first cut, it will happen later than investors predict. At the moment, forecasts price in a full such move only in June.
Then, on Wednesday and Friday, important labor market data from the USA will be published. The reports in January were much stronger than the consensus, which led to a significant lowering of expectations for cuts by the Fed for the entire year 2024. In this context, the reports for February will be key to confirming this trend.
