🚀 ECB Supports ESMA Oversight of Major Cross-Border Financial Firms The European Central Bank (ECB) has expressed its support for a European Commission proposal to grant the Paris-based European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) direct oversight of significant cross-border financial firms, including large crypto asset service providers. According to NS3.AI, this move marks a shift from the current Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, where national regulators are responsible for supervising crypto asset service providers (CASPs), while ESMA primarily plays a coordinating role. Although the ECB's opinion is non-binding, the proposal will now proceed to negotiations among EU member states and the European Parliament. #ECB#ESMA#EuropeanCommission#CrossBorderFinance#CryptoAssets#MiCA#FinancialRegulation#EUParliament#CASPs

🚀 European Central Bank Supports EU's Financial Regulatory Reform The European Central Bank (ECB) has expressed its support for the European Commission's proposal to centralize financial regulation.

This move is intended to deepen the integration of the EU capital markets and enhance international competitiveness.

🚀 Societe Generale Strategists Adjust ECB Rate Hike Expectations Societe Generale's interest rate strategists have revised their baseline scenario, according to Jin10. They now anticipate that the European Central Bank (ECB) will implement two 'preventive' rate hikes in June and September, while the economy remains resilient. This adjustment is expected to keep the 10-year German bond yield above 3% throughout 2026, preventing a significant yield curve inversion. The strategists suggest that a ceasefire and de-escalation in the Middle East could stabilize the short end of the eurozone yield curve, with market expectations for the ECB's terminal rate stabilizing around 2.50%. They also note that if German bond yields fall below 2.90%, it may present an opportunity to short duration, as they still expect the yield to reach 3.20% in the second quarter. #ECB#InterestRates#EuropeanCentralBank#EurozoneEconomy#GermanBonds#YieldCurve#RateHike#MonetaryPolicy#FinancialMarkets#SocieteGenerale
