0622 GMT - BlackRock Investment Institute shares the market's view about the European Central Bank's rate path towards a 2% deposit rate, and expects a quarterly move to that level, says Roelof Salomons in a note. "Like us, markets now expect the ECB to cut rates to 2%," the chief investment strategist for the Netherlands says. In terms of pace to get there, BlackRock Investment Institute sees higher chances of the ECB slowing from a meeting-by-meeting pace to a quarterly one, he says. The ECB cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Thursday, bringing the deposit rate to 2.50%. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
