At 14:15 CET today the European Central Bank will announce its most recent monetary policy decision; then President Lagarde will give a press conference at 14:45 CET. The policy rates have not changed since February 2026; the deposit facility is 2.00 percent, the primary refinancing operations rate is 2.15 percent, and the marginal lending facility is 2.40 percent.
Will the ECB stick to its data-dependent, meeting-by-meeting approach or move toward a more significant easing tilt? Traders will pay close attention. The inflation forecast, salary dynamics, and any pushback from Lagarde against early rate-cut predictions will take center stage.
Key signals for EUR rates and foreign currency markets will arise from any changes in wording on inflation persistence, policy transmission, and growth risks. A statement that closely mirrors February’s wording is likely to be interpreted as a hold-and-watch message rather than a clear pivot toward near-term easing.
