Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
On May 19, 2026, the European Central Bank cut its deposit rate by 25 basis points to 2.00%, the fourth cut this year. Lucas and Luna break down why the ECB is moving faster than the Fed, what this means for the euro and inflation, and how central bank divergence shapes global markets. They dig into Lagarde's reasoning, the impact on German bond yields, and why this matters for investors holding cash or European equities. If you've ever wondered why central bank decisions affect your mortgage, savings, or portfolio, this episode shows you the concrete links. No theory for theory's sake — just the numbers that move markets.
