Spot has come under pressure today as Draghi’s presser is under way. President Draghi said it is still premature to decide on any tiered deposit rate system or TLTROs terms, as these issues need further discussion by the Council.
President Draghi also said that expansionary fiscal policies are supporting the economy in the region, although risks to the outlook remain tilted to the downside. In addition, Draghi reiterated the bank’s commitment to return inflation to the target.
