ECB to cut rates in September – Reuters poll

The European Central Bank will cut deposit rates in September and will begin telegraphing the move from this month,  according to economists in a Reuters poll who do not see sudden revival in Eurozone’s economy.  

The central  is expected to cut its deposit rate by 10 basis points to an all-time low of -0.50% in September. Two-thirds  of economists said the ECB would use the July meeting to change its  forward guidance toward easing.
