ECB’s Patsalides: I prefer small, gradual rate cuts

  • Don’t see persistent economic stagnation, inflation undershooting
  • A 50 bps move would require projections showing persistent undershooting of inflation
  • Don’t see a situation where rates would need to fall below neutral
  • Euro weakness not creating inflationary pressures

The message has been consistent across the board from the ECB since last week. So, this just adds to that.
