( TAPERING, USUALLY TO BE FOLLOWED BY HAWKISH FED, USD POSITIVE )
2- ECB monetary policy updates >>
- There is no rush to signal the future of its pandemic bond buying according to Governing Council member Martins Kazaks. With almost 600 billion euros left to spend and the program running at least through the end of March, he says it would be much too early for a decision on whether to extend or phase out purchases -
