European Central Bank

The Euro to Dollar exchange rate has bounced sharply from the year's lows in recent trade but the balance of directional risk remains tilted to the upside ahead of Thursday's European Central Bank (ECB) interest rate decision owing in part to a sharp repricing of the Federal Reserve (Fed) policy outlook. 

The Euro to Dollar exchange rate led the single currency near to the top of the major currency board for the week and has been tipped as a buy at Nomura ahead of the European Central Bank (ECB) interest rate decision and forecast update for March.

The ECB committed to further "significant" interest rate hikes as it seeks to combat inflation in a stance that will likely ensure Euro exchange rates remain bid.

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde warned in the ECB's final press conference of the year that "a relatively short-lived and shallow" technical recession may be seen in the months ahead due to a growing collection of economic ailments stemming from the energy crisis. 

GBP/EUR is sharply lower after the European Central Bank raised interest rates by a further 50 basis points but warned significantly more hikes are required than had previously been assumed.

The Euro pared earlier losses against the Dollar and did some of the work driving a rally in EUR/GBP after the European Central Bank (ECB) raised its forecasts for inflation in the Eurozone before writing a hawkish prescription of "significantly" higher borrowing costs in response.

The Euro remained one of the better performing major currencies this week even after October's European Central Bank (ECB) decision prompted the market to perhaps mistakenly adjust its expectations for interest rates lower.

The Pound to Euro exchange rate climbed back toward its October highs after the European Central Bank (ECB) announced another abnormally large increase in its interest rate and warned that its policy settings could impose an added burden on the Eurozone economy in the near future.

The Pound to Euro exchange rate has defied gravity near to one month highs in recent trade but will struggle to recover further this week unless Thursday's European Central Bank (ECB) interest rate decision disuades the market of its recently improved appetite for the single currency. 

The Euro to Dollar rate reversed a short-lived rally on Thursday after European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde made clear the potential costs of an escalating confrontation of inflation, which elicited the monetary union's largest interest rate rise to date in September's decision.

Euro exchange rates find support in the wake of the European Central Bank's (ECB) 75 basis point interest rate hike and the clear message it will continue to hike as "inflation remains far too high".

The ECB should hike interest rates by a massive 75 basis points on Thursday, but such a surge in Eurozone lending rates will unlikely boost the Euro according to new analysis.

The European Central Bank may be set to remain on its current hawkish interest rate course even as the common currency economic area enters the eye of an energy supply storm this winter if the latest remarks from executive board member and ECB policymaker Isabel Schnabel are anything to go by.

Analysts have assessed the Bank's July policy update and given their verdict on how many further interest rate rises will come from the ECB, with some even seeing the potential for a 75 basis point hike on the horizon.

The Euro to Dollar exchange rate's July slide was cited by the European Central Bank as a key influence on its thinking about inflation this week and as a driver of its decision to call time on the era of negative interest rates with a larger than expected increase in its main benchmarks for borrowing costs.

The Euro to Dollar rate rose on Thursday, lifting other many currencies along the way after the European Central Bank (ECB) appeared to convince a sceptic market that it can bring down inflation by lifting Eurozone interest rates without driving the Euro Area's more fragile economies toward wreck or ruin. 

The Euro jumped across the board after the European Central Bank raised interest rates by 50bp points an announced the creation of a new mechanism to ensure the Eurozone's diverse financial system remains stable amidst rising interest rates.

The Euro to Dollar rate has reversed half of its July decline in a rally that may be an early warning of a market inflection point that would likely provide many currencies with relief from the recently relentless advance of the Dollar.

The Euro to Franc exchange rate will end the year back above parity says a foreign exchange analysts at one of Europe's largest banks.

The European Central Bank could go with a 50 basis point rate hike this Thursday, according to reports.
