[ECB Governing Council Member Rehn: Pay Attention to Inflation Slowdown and December Rate Cut Risks] ECB Governing Council Member Rehn stated that the risk of an inflation slowdown should not be overlooked. Lower energy prices, a stronger euro, and a decline in wage and service sector inflation could lead to overall inflation falling below the ECB's 2% target. When asked whether another rate cut might occur in December, Rehn said this risk cannot be underestimated, while also emphasizing the need to monitor potential risks of inflation rising. He pointed out that despite the Trump administration's tariff policies disrupting global trade, the eurozone economy has shown resilience. He also warned of potential stock market correction risks and stressed the importance of bank capital buffers. Rehn believes that current stock prices are relatively high compared to the performance of the real economy and corporate earnings, and urged caution.
