Euro Rises on an Upward
Revision of the PMI for
Manufacturing
Euro Downside May Be Limited
Even if ECB Opts to Cut Rates
The European Central Bank is in the spotlight as Mario
Draghi and company deliver their monthly monetary
policy announcement amid widespread speculation
about a 25bps interest rate cut to address the region’s
deepening recession. However, the negative impact of
such a move on the Euro is likely to be limited unless it
is accompanied with the introduction of non-standard
easing efforts.
The market rate to borrow Euros overnight has
averaged around 0.1 percent over the past 12 months.
That means cutting the ECB benchmark lending rate
from 0.75 to 0.5 percent would be essentially moot in
terms of lowering regional borrowing costs.
Meanwhile, a Bloomberg index tracking Eurozone
financial conditions has shown slow deterioration
since late January, underscoring the inability of low
rates by themselves to secure a supportive funding
environment.
