What it measures

The ECB Governing Council’s policy decision sets the main interest rates for the euro area, including the rate banks receive for overnight deposits. Traders compare the decision and guidance with market expectations and the ECB’s 2% inflation objective.

Why it moves the EUR

A higher-than-expected rate or a signal that rates will stay high can support the euro; an unexpected cut or dovish path can weaken it. This is one of the euro’s most important scheduled drivers, and the statement and press conference can matter as much as the rate change.
