Survey: More than half of respondents believe that by the end of 2026, the European Central Bank's interest rate will be reduced from the current 2.5% to 1.51% -2.0%.

According to a report by Golden Ten Data, Quilter Investors' latest investor trend survey shows that interest rates from the Bank of England and the European Central Bank appear to be too restrictive. About 40 per cent of investors expect UK rates to fall from the current 4.5 per cent to "a range of 3.26-3.75 per cent", the survey said. Quilter also said that as many as 57% of investors expect ECB interest rates to fall from the current 2.5% to 1.51% to 2.0% by the end of 2026.
