Goldman Sachs lowered its interest rate hike estimate for the European Central Bank (ECB) to 25 basis points (bps) in May, from a prior estimate of 50 bps, the brokerage said on Friday.

The current estimate cuts back the central bank's terminal rate to 3.5%, compared to the earlier estimate of 3.75%. (Reporting by Subhadeep Chakravarty; Editing by Sonia Cheema)
