Economic news: ECB left interest rates unchanged as widely expected. That is, the main refinancing rate, marginal lending facility rate and deposit rate are held at 0.00%, 0.25% and -0.50% respectively. However, it explicitly said, “the Governing Council intends to raise the key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points at its July monetary policy meeting.” Besides, ECB said is expects to “raise the key ECB interest rates again in September”. The size would depend on the updated medium-term inflation outlook by then. “If the medium-term inflation outlook persists or deteriorates, a larger increment will be appropriate at the September meeting,” it added. Beyond September, “a gradual but sustained path of further increases in interest rates will be appropriate.”
