Based on: Historical Cycle
The ECB is expected to leave the deposit rate at 2.25% on 10 September 2026 (open prediction). The next council meeting is scheduled for 23 October 2026. The disinflationary trend in the euro area (core rate below 2%) and weak industrial output increase pressure for further easing steps. The OIS forward curve as of 5 September 2026 implies approximately 50โ55% probability for an October cut. No specific Polymarket contract found for the October meeting.
