Investors expected a massive US economic stimulus package with President Joe Biden taking office.
The European Central Bank (ECB)’s monetary policy meeting, which determines the monetary policy of Europe, will be held under the chairmanship of Ragard. At the meeting, it is noted whether Europe will also freeze interest rates. Policy changes are not expected, but interest is being raised whether the bank will comment on the increasingly difficult prospects a month after it announced a new stimulus to boost the eurozone economy.
In a memo, ING analysts said, “It will be a fairly calm day for the euro with new mitigation measures fully implemented and no new forecasts being presented tomorrow.”
