Pause in ECB rate cuts could last a while, policymaker Holzmann tells Austrian TV
VIENNA, June 9 (Reuters) - The current pause in European Central Bank rate cuts could be long-lasting unless economic data worsens, in which case there could be further rate cuts this year, policymaker Robert Holzmann told Austrian broadcaster ORF on Monday. "It could be that the pause lasts a while," he said when asked if there would be further rate cuts this year, adding each rate decision was based on the data available at that time. "If economic developments worsen, there could be further interest-rate cuts."

Taylor said Monday he is 'a bit activist' and that he is 'putting quite a lot of weight' on recent news after backing a bumper half-point rate cut last week.
