In the USA, the central bank is lowering key interest rates to stimulate the economy

In the USA, the central bank is lowering key interest rates to stimulate the economy. This fuels discussions about whether the Fed is still acting independently or has already been manipulated by Trump.

The ECB’s decision to leave key interest rates unchanged is understandable and correct

The ECB's decision to leave key interest rates unchanged is understandable and correct. Although the inflation rate in the eurozone is approaching the two percent target, price pressures remain in the service sector and in parts of the consumer sector.
