The ECB cuts again as it heads into an uncertain future.

The European Central Bank cut its key deposit rate by another quarter-point to 2 percent, as fading inflation gives it the freedom to support an economy burdened by US President Donald Trump’s trade war.

The central bank expects big spending programmes at home to offset weaker demand for eurozone exports.

Bulgaria will officially adopt the euro as its currency at the start of next year.
