Summary · why it matters

The European Central Bank raised rates by a hawkish 25 basis points to 2.50%, a move President Lagarde called a "no brainer" while signaling further hikes ahead. According to Brown Brothers Harriman's Elias Haddad, EUR/USD is trading heavy around 1.1600 following the decision. The ECB expects inflation to remain above target for an extended period, which underpins its tightening path. BBH sees that hawkish stance as supportive of the currency pair.
