ECB Holds Deposit Facility Rate at 4%, Signals Rate Hike in June

The European Central Bank decided to hold its interest rate, specifically keeping the deposit facility rate at 4%. But the ECB indicated that it plans to increase interest rates at its next meeting in June. Following the announcement, many investors now believe that the ECB will cut rates before the Federal Reserve does.

ヨーロッパ中央銀行は利率を据え置き、特に預金施設の利率を4%で維持することを決定した。しかし、ECBは6月の次回会合で利率を引き上げることを示した。この発表を受けて、多くの投資家は、連邦準備制度よりも前に利率の引き下げを行うと思っている。
