FOREX SUMMARY

FOREX
EURUSD pare gains following ECB Lagarde on Negative rates.
  • "Based on our experience, negative rates are an effective tool for providing monetary accommodation. It provides additional stimulus to the euro area economy.
  • Negative rates in the euro area are passed on to Corporates in many cases. As far as households are concerned, it is 5% of deposits that have negative rates imposed.
  • It is higher than that in Germany. I appreciate that people who are saving are not satisfied with being charged negative rates. But we have to look at the whole economy.
  • Negative rates supporting the economy"
