  "account": "On Wednesday evening, the US Federal Reserve announced it would keep the benchmark interest rate steady at 3.75 to 4 percent. On Thursday afternoon, the European Central Bank (ECB) confirmed it would also maintain its benchmark rate unchanged at 2.5 percent. On Thursday morning, Christine Lagarde revealed she would be stepping down from her role as ECB president prematurely in February 2027, just nine months before her term ended. Financial editor Leonidas Exuzidis of Handelsblatt spoke in a podcast about the background of both interest rate decisions and Lagarde's announcement of her resignation.",
  "summary": "Eigentlich sollte Lagardes Amtszeit noch bis Oktober 2027 gehen. Warum möchte sie früher abtreten? Und: Alphabet verfehlt die Erwartungen der Wall Street bei Umsatz und Gewinn.",
