ECB leaves interest rates unchanged as expected – EUR

By Published: Last Modified: Forex News

The European Central Bank left all the interest rates unchanged, as widely expected. This includes the deposit rate.

EUR/USD traded just above 1.32 before the release, failing to break yesterday’s high of 1.3217. It is now sliding a bit, but not going to far.

All eyes are now on Mario Draghi. The president of the ECB will hold a press conference at 12:30 GMT. Stay tuned for a live blog of the event.
