At 10am today there is announcements from the European Union on GDP (Growth domestic product), basically economic performance and outlook for the EU. Generally in 2025, EU has had a focus on boosting economic activity. Today’s release will show its performance for the Q4, and forecasting is a drawdown from 1.5% in Q3 to 1.4%. EU and ECB have got inflation levels under control and they’re within reach of its target rate, while interest rates levels has come down in the year too. If we see this pattern continue into 2026, EU might face issues of lifting and injecting economic growth if there are no monetary actions required.
