ECB leaves interest rates unchanged

#

The European Central Bank has decided not to make adjustments to its monetary policy at its meeting on Thursday. The interest rate on the ECB's main refinancing operations, as well as the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.00%, 0.25% and -0.50% respectively.

Market players expected the EU regulator to tighten its policy after the release of EU CPI data, which indicated that consumer prices have hit record highs. However, the ECB did not meet these expectations.

The ECB's president Christine Lagarde is expected to shed more light on ECB's plans at the post-meeting press conference. If Lagarde signals that some board members voted for hiking interest rates, or that the policy could be tightened depending on the inflationary pressure, the euro can possibly recover strongly today.

If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
