dollar traded lower against the most major currencies after the European
Central Bank’ interest rate cut. The European Central Bank cut its interest rate
to 0.15% from 0.25%. Analysts had expected a cut to 0.1%.
The ECB
also cut its marginal lending to 0.40% from 0.75% and reduced its deposit rate
to -0.10% from 0.0%. The European Central Bank is the world’s first major
central bank to use a negative rate. The deposit rate of -0.10% means that
commercial bank will be charged for holding their reserves. This measure should
spur commercial banks to ramp up lending.
