** The European Central Bank (ECB) might slash interest rates even further, possibly below 2%, according to policymaker Pierre Wunsch. The *Financial Times* reports that this signals a more aggressive approach to stimulating the eurozone economy, as inflation cools and growth remains sluggish.
What This Mean: ** Interest rates directly affect everything from mortgages to business loans, so this hints at the ECB’s growing concern about weak economic momentum. If they follow through, borrowing could get cheaper—good for spenders and investors but potentially a sign that Europe’s economy isn’t firing on all cylinders.

** The European Central Bank (ECB) might need to slash interest rates below 2%, according to a surprising warning from a former policy "hawk"—someone who typically favors higher rates. The Belgian central bank chief, who once leaned toward tighter monetary policy, now says the risks of weak growth and low inflation are growing, hinting at a more aggressive easing stance.
What This Mean: ** When even the traditionally cautious voices start calling for deeper rate cuts, it signals real concern about Europe's economic health. This isn’t just technical central bank chatter—it suggests businesses and households could face a tougher road ahead, with sluggish demand and potentially more stimulus measures to keep things afloat.
