According to Odaily, analysts have indicated that the recent European Central Bank (ECB) rate decision did not present any surprises. They suggest that if inflation and PMI data for October and November continue to decline unexpectedly, a 50 basis point rate cut could be possible at the next meeting in December. Given that this rate cut and additional cuts (five more by the end of next year) have already been factored into European stock markets, the current earnings season is more likely to dominate market trends.
