Key Quotes:

"Draghi said euro strength reflects three factors: the improving macroeconomic environment, some speculation about changes in future communication, and recent statements from Washington about FX. The first two are ‘natural’ but it seems Draghi is not a fan of Washington’s departure from the G20 communique. If the euro appreciated a lot on Mnuchin’s support of a weaker USD, delivering an “unwanted tightening of monetary policy” and impacted European inflation, it could force a rethink on ECB policy. When asked about a possible interest rate rise this year, Draghi said he does not believe conditions warrant that at all. The market is currently pricing a 50% chance of a 10bps rise in the ECB deposit rate (-40 bps) by year end."
