Eurozone Interest Rate Decision - MI060624

The ECB is reporting its interest rate decision just after lunch.

Analysts are expecting the base rate to be cut by 25 points from 4.5% to 4.25%.

If this doesn't happen expect the Euro to jump versus the Pound.

Later in the afternoon there's the ECB press conference, and this has often been the catalyst for rate moves.

Up to this point Sterling has been in ascension, so it's going to be an interesting afternoon.

Before all that there's also the Eurozone retail sales figures out so watch this space for GBP/EUR today.

Today also sees the start of the European parliamentary election process, so Monday could also be another bumpy day for the Pound versus the Euro.

Going into tomorrow its Chinese import and export data out first before the Halifax releases it's house price report in the UK at breakfast time.
