ECB Keeps Rates Unchanged, As Expected

Tyler Durden's picture




 

No surprises in the official ECB statement...

At today’s meeting the Governing Council of the ECB decided that the interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.05%, 0.30% and -0.20% respectively.

 

The President of the ECB will comment on the considerations underlying these decisions at a press conference starting at 2.30 p.m. CET today.

... However, the same will hardly be said about Draghi's presser in 45 minutes.

Now lets see where they planned to rig the Euro to today.  My guess is teh exchange rate will be placed up, simply becasue it has been down.

Aww so it won't go to -0.3%? But but I thought we were on the same circus ride here....maybe at the next meeting then.

Deflation is no laughing matter kiddies.

Drag it out Draghi. Hope he's building himself a rat hole to hide somewhere.

I keep hearing how Europe needs financial stimulus but is there some widespread depression going on over there?  The MSM keeps saying that everything is fine.
