In an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday, European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Klaas Knot said that he expects a "cautious slide" in key rates after June.
Knot added that they can't rule out small rebounds in inflation in Germany in some months this year. Nevertheless, he noted that he is increasingly confident about the disinflation process and said that he is not uncomfortable with the market pricing of ECB rate cuts.
