ECB policymakers set high bar for Sept rate cut, sources say
FRANKFURT, July 24 (Reuters) - European Central Bank policymakers are setting a high bar for an interest rate cut in September and they would need to see a significant deterioration in growth and inflation before backing further easing, two sources told Reuters. The European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged on Thursday after cutting eight times in a year, biding its time while Brussels and Washington try to negotiate a trade deal that could ease persistent uncertainty over tariffs. But sources at the meeting said that policymakers would not be spurred into action by the mere announcement of U.S. duties on European Union imports. Instead, they would need to see an actual weakening in the inflation and growth data as well as lower projections from ECB staff in September if they are to back a rate cut. An ECB spokesperson declined to comment. While the discussion on Thursday was harmonious, a few policymakers wanted to send out a warning about inflation coming in lower than expected. Instead, the ECB said that risks to economic growth were "tilted to the downside" while "the outlook for inflation (was) more uncertain than usual". ECB President Christine Lagarde hinted at this division, saying that, while the decision to keep rates on hold was unanimous, the risk assessment was "broadly shared". The sources said that policymakers mostly agreed on how the economy would behave in the ECB's baseline scenario, in which the U.S. administration imposes a 10% tariff rate on European Union imports. But they differed about the adverse scenario, in which the tariff rate is higher. Policy hawks, who favour higher interest rates, saw risks that inflation would get a boost from supply disruptions related to tariffs and possible retaliation. Doves saw downside risks from slower economic activity prevailing. Lagarde, who said her job was to present the view of the Governing Council rather than her own, listed both types of risks in her news conference.

Car Deal of the Day: Thanks Elon! Tesla Model 3 now under £280 a month
Easy to drive; minimalist interior 323-mile range Just £278.50 a month Tesla may have turned in a disappointing set of sales results for the last quarter of 2025 this week, but there's no denying that the Model 3 is still a very capable and desirable electric car. Happily, there are deals to be had, too. Advertisement - Article continues below AA Lease is offering the electric saloon for just £278.50 a month right now. This two-year deal only requires a £3,612 initial deposit to get the ball rolling, while mileage is capped at 5,000 a year. We suspect you might want to raise this annual mileage limit; doing so won't break the bank, as an 8,000-mile allowance will only cost an extra £18.29 a month. This deal gets you the Standard model, so that's the entry-level rear-wheel drive version of the Model 3, in other words. A 60kWh battery pack opens up a range of 323 miles WLTP, and in our experience Teslas are very efficient so a real-world range in the high 200s is easily achievable. Of course, having a Tesla gives you access to the firm's Supercharger network, ensuring quick and convenient top-ups. Standard equipment is pretty high on the Tesla Model 3, with power-adjustable and heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, 18-inch wheels, a massive 15.4-inch touchscreen, and metallic paint all being thrown in. Inside is a very minimalist place, with hardly any buttons, plenty of plain surfaces and no indicator stalks, while the latest Model 3 has been tweaked on the outside with sleeker styling to give a more modern look. The Car Deal of the Day selections we make are taken from our own Auto Express Find A Car deals service, which includes the best current offers from car dealers and leasing companies around the UK. Terms and conditions apply, while prices and offers are subject to change and limited availability. If this deal expires, you can find more top Tesla Model 3 leasing offers from leading providers on our Tesla Model 3 page.

Amazon faces UK lawsuits worth up to $5.4 bln from retailers, consumers
LONDON, July 24 (Reuters) - Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab faces two mass lawsuits from retailers and consumers worth up to 4 billion pounds ($5.4 billion) for allegedly abusing its dominant position, after a London tribunal on Thursday certified the cases could proceed. Andreas Stephan, a competition law academic, is bringing one of the cases on behalf of over 200,000 third-party retailers, worth up to 2.7 billion pounds. His lawyers allege that Amazon manipulates the "Buy Box" feature on its website to its own advantage and favours products that use Amazon's own logistics centres and delivery network. Consumer advocate Robert Hammond is separately bringing a case valued at up to 1.3 billion pounds on behalf of millions of Amazon customers for similar alleged abuses of dominance. Amazon argued that the Competition Appeal Tribunal should certify the cases to proceed, an early step in the proceedings, including because the economic methodology for proving the cases was flawed. But the tribunal certified both cases on an opt-out basis, meaning members of the claimant class will be part of the case unless they decide otherwise. An Amazon spokesperson said: "These claims are without merit and we're confident that will become clear through the legal process. "Amazon has always focused on supporting the 100,000 businesses that sell their products on our UK store, and more than half of all physical product sales on our UK store are from independent selling partners."
