Global Central Banks React to Economic Uncertainty Amid Trade Tensions

Central banks in Switzerland and Norway have adjusted monetary policy in response to weaker inflation prospects, becoming the latest European institutions to diverge from the U.S. Federal Reserve's warnings about rising American prices.

The Bank of England maintained its current rate, hinting at a gradual decline amid global unpredictability, while the European Central Bank recently cut rates to hit a 2% inflation target. Meanwhile, trade tensions and Middle East conflicts continue to cast a shadow over economic stability.

U.S. President Donald Trump's impending decision on increasing tariffs further complicates the global economic landscape. As central banks navigate these challenges, future rate decisions remain heavily reliant on evolving data and geopolitical developments.
