ECB should maintain interest rates and postpone the increase to December

The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to keep interest rates unchanged, maintaining the deposit rate at 2.5%. Analysts predict a potential increase in December following new growth and inflation forecasts. This decision comes after the Federal Reserve's recent announcement to hold rates steady. Concerns about energy shocks from the Middle East conflict persist, but recent economic data is insufficient to alter the ECB's course. Attention is shifting to France, facing high debt and deficit issues, amid discussions on the 2027 budget and upcoming presidential elections.
