ECBs Wunsch is on the wires saying:

  • I see a path for initiating rate cut this year.
  • Cost of remaining time for too long is seen to outweigh the cost of premature easing.
  • There is room to cut 50 basis points but when will depend on data.
  • The need for critical evaluation of ECBs modeling framework, role of models in policymaking.

Comments are not too out of line except they are broad in scope.
