It is reported that the European Central Bank is considering cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in the next two meetings.

They believe that cutting interest rates by 50 basis points at a time in an emergency is still an option, but this move may convey an unexpected sense of urgency. According to people familiar with the matter, officials have not yet made any decision, and every meeting will be evaluated based on all available information, even after March.
