🚀 Nuveen Forecasts Central Bank Rate Adjustments in 2026
Nuveen, an asset management company, released its quarterly outlook report on April 9, stating that negative supply shocks are unwelcome for central banks. According to Jin10, the overall outlook remains sufficiently stable for central banks to continue focusing on domestic factors. The firm anticipates that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates twice in 2026, totaling 50 basis points. However, Nuveen notes that the risk leans towards a slower pace, with the second rate cut potentially delayed until 2027. Additionally, Nuveen predicts that the Bank of Japan may raise rates at least once more in 2026, while the European Central Bank might shift towards rate hikes by the end of the year.

🚀 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.

🚀 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. According to Odaily, the plan aims to transfer the regulatory authority of cross-border financial institutions, including crypto asset service providers (CASPs), from national regulators to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). This move is intended to deepen the integration of the EU capital markets and enhance international competitiveness. The ECB emphasized the need for ESMA to be adequately staffed and funded, while minimizing market disruptions during the regulatory transition.
