Holy crap...

ECB will be cutting rates soon into 2024.

Inflation seems to dead and a thing of the past... trend is clear -> deflation (overtightened).
When does this dis-inflation turn into deflation! ECB appears to have done a good job so far.

If inflation is falling that hard, remember interest rates lag 6 - 12 months, so Eurozone is actually in big big trouble.

Unemployment in Germany and Italy sky rocketed, France/Germany/Italy are all in deep recession, manufacturing output is at the lowest in a decade, even IF they do ratecuts, it means that the economy is absolutely screwed.
Maybe the ECB shouldn't have raised rates this high. (the same goes for the Fed)

Money printing =inflation =Zimbabwe
Yes, they printed way too much money during Covid and took too long to start raising rates. But now they run the same risk but on the opposite side: overtighten and crash the economy.

Energy is being manipulated so as to make it appear that inflation is coming down
Nevertheless, energy prices have fallen significantly this year. For example, crude oil prices are down on average 17% YTD in 2023, compared to 2022. (see picture)
