Traders await today’s ECB policy meeting for possible fresh signals. The central bank is expected to keep policy on hold and assess depth of contraction caused by coronavirus lockdown, as well as effectiveness and negative side-effects of its latest measures, taken during the crisis.
Recent better than expected economic data from the bloc could be one of the reasons for ECB to stay on hold as the economy shows signs of recovery after the biggest collapse in living memory.
Also, the central bank wants to keep up pressure on the EU leaders to eventually agree on delayed fiscal support.
