Lagarde says she cannot say how high the bar is for cutting rates further

  • Lagarde on CNBC
Lagarde
  • We are meeting-by-meeting and data dependent
  • Says she was surprised by resilience of economy
  • Economy is more-balanced than what it was
  • There has not been tariff retaliation by Europe
  • We have both upside and downside risks to inflation
  • My hope for US-China trade is certainty
  • Chinese exports could be directed to Europe and that will have consequences for growth
  • The movement of Chinese goods to Europe has increased but not as much as feared

The euro hasn't moved on her comments so far and remains up 7 pips on the day to 1.1575. The market only sees a small chance of a further ECB rate cut.
