“Nevertheless, we still expect that the ECB will ease again as we believe inflation will remain low.”

“While the choice of instrument is a close call, we expect a 10bp cut in the refi and the deposit rates in April. However, the Eonia fixing is still at a level where the refi rate is the leading policy rate and it might be the preferred instrument at the ECB (without a deposit cut).”
