"and the European Central Bank cut interest rates,"
Can you explain this a bit more? The leading interest rate of the ECB remained stable. All intervention had at least a small penalty rate. How has the ECB cut interest rates?

I had the same reaction when I read the paper. In fact, IIRC, the ECB was planning to raise its rates and just maintained them. And, more recently, they resisted to strong pressures to cut them.
