European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde plans to quit before Macron's term ends, FT reports

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde may step down early. This move could allow French President Emmanuel Macron to influence the selection of her replacement. Lagarde's term officially ends in October 2027. Concerns exist about the far-right winning the French presidential race in 2027. This could complicate the choice for Europe's top financial role.
