Big banks add October cut to ECB forecasts
Updates with latest forecasts
LONDON, Oct 1 (Reuters) -Major brokerages, including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, now expect the European Central Bank to deliver a quarter-point cut at its Oct. 17 meeting, on the back of recentdata showing economic weakness and slowing inflation.
Market pricing now reflects around a 90% chanceof such a rate cut, which would follow reductions at the ECB's June and September meetings, as the data pushes policy makers to focus more on growth and less on price pressures.
Euro zone inflation dipped below 2% for the first time since mid-2021 in September, according to Tuesday data, while last week surveys showedEuro zone business activity contracted sharply and unexpectedly in September, as the bloc's dominant services industry flatlined and a downturn in manufacturing accelerated.
Sources told Reuters that ECB policy doves are preparing to fight for an October rate cut - though this would likely meet resistance from more conservative peers - a turnaround from the aftermath of the ECB's September meeting when they saw an October move as unlikely.
Here are the latest forecasts from some brokerages.
