Summary:
The ECB keeps rates unchanged, and issues a full-throated victory cry in the war on inflation. They're actually expecting it to be below their 2% target in 2026 and 2027. At the same time, they have upgraded prospects for economic growth. The Fed can't do the former, but it should do the latter.
