ECB policymakers noted that the monetary policy stance was becoming meaningfully less restrictive. The changing language in the statement is fueling speculation that the central bank could pause rate cuts next month.<\/p>\n<p>The markets considered the meeting less dovish, sending the EUR higher.<\/p>\n<p>Today, attention will be on Eurozone GDP data, which is expected to confirm the earlier reading of 0.1% QoQ, meaning the region narrowly avoided a contraction at the end of last year.<\/p>\n<p>The pound is falling after comments from Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann. She considered that a pickup in inflation was unlikely to lead to longer-term price problems in the UK economy, and global volatility had weakened the case for a gradual approach to rate cuts.<\/p>\n<p>UK inflation is expected to rise to 3.7% in the third quarter of this year from the current 3% level.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, UK house prices unexpectedly fell in February, according to the latest data from Halifax.<\/p>\n<p>House prices slipped 0.1% month on month in February after rising by a revised 0.6% in January.<\/p>\n<p>The data comes after the UK construction PMI yesterday showed that house building plunged to its weakest level since the pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pound (GBP) falls for a fifth day UK house prices fell 0.1% MoM in February Euro (EUR) rises further after the ECB cut rates by 25 bps ECB could pause rate cuts in April The Pound Euro (GBP\/EUR) exchange is falling for a fifth straight day.
