ECB cuts rates and leaves room for more easing as growth lags
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -The European Central Bank cut interest rates on Thursday and kept the door open to further policy easing as concerns over lacklustre economic growth supersede worries about persistent inflation. It was the fifth ECB rate cut since June and markets expect two or three more this year, driven by arguments that the biggest inflation surge in generations is nearly defeated and the flagging economy needs relief. The ECB reaffirmed disinflation was "well on track" and welcomed slower growth in wages, which should help bring down inflation in the domestically focussed part of the economy.

Mirroring the trend, Lazard also reported a 6% rise in financial advisory revenue on an adjusted basis in the last three months of 2024, to $508 million over the previous year.
