The article discusses the impact of the euro's surge on the European Central Bank's upcoming policy meeting, highlighting concerns about inflation and the lack of expected rate changes.
Eurozone government bond yields were little changed in opening trade, staying calm ahead of the European Central Bank’s policy meeting on Thursday.
The central bank was closely monitoring the appreciation of the euro, which could potentially reduce inflation across the bloc, the Governor of the Bank of France said.
A weaker dollar and increased imports of lower-priced goods could push inflation even lower than expected, persuading the European Central Bank to cut interest rates.
The euro was lower against the dollar. ING said it could fall slightly if Christine Lagarde acknowledges risks associated with its recent appreciation. Sterling faces further losses if the BOE leaves rates unchanged but boosts market expectations for future cuts.
