ECB Turns Up Temperature in Rate Debate as Lagarde Urges Caution.

The European Central Bank (ECB) is facing internal divisions over when to begin lowering interest rates. While most officials agree that rates should be cut this year, there is disagreement over the timing. Some favor a cut in June or later, while others lean towards April or even March. The differing views reflect uncertainty about inflation and the future of the European economy, as well as the impact of monetary easing by other central banks. The outcome of the debate will determine the speed and extent of rate cuts. [Extracted from the article]
