S3E6: Is the euro safe after Lagarde's hawkish turn?
Manage episode 346451014 series 3413702
Last week was a very eventful one of central bank announcements, with the Bank of England also holding its February monetary policy meeting on Thursday. As expected, interest rates were raised by a quarter of a percent to 0.5%, the first back to back rate increase in the UK since 2004, after rates were of course raised by 10 basis points back in December.
The euro has been one of the best performing G10 currencies in the past seven days, alongside the Swedish krona. The common currency rallied by more than one percent versus the US dollar last Thursday to back above the 1.14 level after ECB President Christine Lagarde struck a hawkish tone during the bank’s press conference.
