On Friday, the twelve-month Euribor rate reached its highest level in almost a month, with one-year Euribor being quoted at 3.729%, up from 3.702% on Thursday. This was the highest level seen since the end of April and indicates changes in the European Central Bank’s (ECB) policy rates. The ECB is expected to start lowering interest rates at its meeting on June 6, with further rate cuts uncertain.

Danske Bank announced on Friday that it has revised its forecast for the number of interest rate cuts by the ECB in 2019. The bank now expects two rate cuts this year – in June and December – resulting in a deposit rate of 3.5% by the end of the year. Previously, predictions suggested three rate cuts for 2019.
