Interest rates are falling! Experts expect an upswing despite Trump's tariffs

The stock markets begin the week of June 3, 2025 with both pressures and hopes. Market analysts are closely monitoring developments surrounding Donald Trump's tariff policy, which could have significant implications from the perspective of investors. At the same time, the European Central Bank (ECB) is about to make a decision on interest rates, which is of key importance for many investors. In the current situation, it is likely that the ECB will cut interest rates again, which will be seen as a positive move for borrowers.

Inflation in Germany is currently 2.1 percent. Despite these burdens, market experts remain confident and expect an economic upswing to occur. What is particularly interesting is the performance of the DAX so far, which has already risen by an impressive 25 percent this year. In addition, Europe is recording high capital inflows from the USA, which further benefits market developments. These topics were discussed in greater depth in a conversation with Nicolas Lieven, Radioeins' economic correspondent.

ECB interest rate and inflation developments

The development of the European Central Bank's (ECB) interest rate for the main refinancing business is being intensively analyzed by experts. Data shows that the interest rate has experienced numerous fluctuations since the euro was introduced in 1999. According to Statista, updated interest rates were last published on April 23, 2025 and remain available online at Statista.

These developments present the ECB with challenges and opportunities at a time when markets are responding to global economic conditions. The upcoming interest rate cuts could not only make borrowing easier, but also increase investor confidence in future economic stability.
