Barclays: The European Central Bank may choose to cut interest rates in December.

Barclays currently believes that the European Central Bank may choose to cut interest rates once in December, instead of the previously predicted rate cut in September. The bank's economist Mariano Sinia said that this revision takes into account the weakness in economic activity in the second half of the year, which is caused by continued drag from trade policies and the impact of earlier imports by the United States.
