Despite the turmoil reverberating across global markets, the ECB kept the depo rate unchanged on Thursday at -0.30%.
The focus now turns to the Draghi presser where market participants will be keen on parsing the former Goldmanite’s every word for hints at how the central bank plans to cope with the disinflationary impulse unleashed by sub-$30 crude and the ongoing “adjustment” of the Chinese economy and currency.
