FXStreet (Edinburgh) – EUR/USD kept the composure following the ECB decision today, hovering over the 1.1350/10 band.
EUR/USD now focus on Draghi
Spot keeps depreciating vs. the greenback today, navigating the low-1.1300s after the European Central Bank left its monetary stance unchanged at its meeting, with the rates on the Main Refinancing Operations, Marginal Lending Facility and Deposit Facility at 0.05%, 0.30% and -0.20%, respectively.
While the decision was largely anticipated, market participants will now focus on the press conference by President Mario Draghi, where the ongoing QE programme appears at the top of the agenda.
