On September 12th, Christodoulos Patsalides, a member of the European Central Banks governing council and the Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, stated on Friday that the ECB does not need to adjust its benchmark interest rate in the near future, but future adjustments could be in both directions. He stated that as long as inflation develops as expected, "the current interest rate is appropriate." Patsalides stated that it is fair to say that inflation risks are currently balanced, and in this context, "the next move in interest rates could be upwards or downwards." He emphasized that all options are on the table and that a rate hike would not be ruled out if necessary. The forecast for the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for 2026 is "only a short-term deviation from the 2% target," with the ECB projecting it to return to 1.9% by 2027. "Therefore, there is no reason to be overly concerned about a prolonged period of below-target inflation." As for the downward revision of the 2027 inflation forecast to 1.9% from 2% in June, Patsalides stated that the two forecasts are "almost identical," primarily due to technical assumptions such as exchange rate fluctuations, rather than fundamental changes.Market news: The EU accepted Microsofts commitment to resolve the Teams antitrust case, and Microsoft promised to separate Teams from the Office suite.A Kyodo News opinion poll in Japan showed that Sanae Takaichi leads the Liberal Democratic Party with 28% support, while Junichiro Koizumi has 22.5%.A Kyodo News poll showed that Japans cabinet approval rating rose 1.8 percentage points to 34.5%.ECB board member Escriva: GDP growth is slow and there are competitiveness problems.

what is leverage?

Simply put, leverage gives you the ability to trade beyond your account funds. With leverage, you can double your trading in a certain financial instrument without having to pay all the required funds. This means that you borrow a certain amount of money needed for the investment. So when you trade with leverage, all you pay is part of your position value.

A CFD is a form of leveraged trading. As the amount required to open and maintain a position is called "margin", leveraged trading is known as "margin trading". The term "leverage" is often used to denote that a small fluctuation in the price of a CFD can be magnified into a large change in profit and loss, with the degree of profit and loss depending on the degree of leverage used.


For example, a $1,000 balance with a 1:50 leverage ratio has a trading ability of $50,000, allowing traders to purchase financial products worth up to $50,000.
