Maybank FX Flash - EUR: ECB Easing but Interest Rate Floored - 11 Mar 2016


EUR: ECB Easing But Interest Rate Floored



§  ECB eased monetary policy (10 Mar) cutting main refi, marginal lending facility and deposit rate while expanded monthly purchases, technical tweaks to APP and introduced TLTRO II.
§  ECB President Draghi’s hint of interest rate “floor” could pose risks of Europe-UST yield spread narrowing and upside risk to EURUSD.
§  Key resistance for the EURUSD at 1.15; only a decisive break above could see further upside gathering momentum possibly towards 1.18 levels. Otherwise EUR may continue to consolidate in the recently established range of 1.08 – 1.15.
