The euro holds onto yesterday’s gains after the ECB cut rates by 25 bps, as expected, to 3.75%. The central bank lifted its inflation projection and failed to commit to the next rate cut.
Eurozone GDP rose 0.3% QoQ in Q1, in line with the preliminary reading.
The pound is unchanged amid a quiet day for economic data. Yesterday UK construction PMI rose at the fastest pace in 2 years. However, the dominant services PMI was downwardly revised in May.
