Investor sentiment remains positive in the bond market as expectations grow for another interest rate cut from the European Central Bank (ECB) by year-end. This outlook is bolstered by comments from European central bank officials, including Olli Rehn from the Bank of Finland, predicting that deposit rates may reach a neutral level between 2.2% and 2.8% by mid-next year. The ECB has already lowered rates three times this year, contributing to increased trade activity in the domestic bond market, where transactions reached €64 million today.
