The inside scoop from sources
There is some post-ECB sources comments saying:
- ECB policymakers split over wording of stimulus end, rate hike timing
- some wanted to keep the door more open to extension of bond buys
- others wanted to signal possible rate hike in mid 2019
The ECB and Draghi said that rates would stay unchanged until the end of the summer of 2019.
That is what you get when you have a large group of policy members. There will be different views.
For the EURUSD, the headlines have frozen the pair.
