It isn’t the job of the ECB to boost the economy, the job of the ECB is price stability.
To lower rates now to crank up the economy would run contrary to our stance.

ECB FAQs
The European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, Germany, is the reserve bank for the Eurozone. The ECB sets interest rates and manages monetary policy for the region. The ECB primary mandate is to maintain price stability, which means keeping inflation at around 2%. Its primary tool for achieving this is by raising or lowering interest rates. Relatively high interest rates will usually result in a stronger Euro and vice versa. The ECB Governing Council makes monetary policy decisions at meetings held eight times a year. Decisions are made by heads of the Eurozone national banks and six permanent members, including the President of the ECB, Christine Lagarde.
In extreme situations, the European Central Bank can enact a policy tool called Quantitative Easing. QE is the process by which the ECB prints Euros and uses them to buy assets – usually government or corporate bonds – from banks and other financial institutions. QE usually results in a weaker Euro. QE is a last resort when simply lowering interest rates is unlikely to achieve the objective of price stability. The ECB used it during the Great Financial Crisis in 2009-11, in 2015 when inflation remained stubbornly low, as well as during the covid pandemic.
Quantitative tightening (QT) is the reverse of QE. It is undertaken after QE when an economic recovery is underway and inflation starts rising. Whilst in QE the European Central Bank (ECB) purchases government and corporate bonds from financial institutions to provide them with liquidity, in QT the ECB stops buying more bonds, and stops reinvesting the principal maturing on the bonds it already holds. It is usually positive (or bullish) for the Euro.

Australian Dollar FAQs
One of the most significant factors for the Australian Dollar (AUD) is the level of interest rates set by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). Because Australia is a resource-rich country another key driver is the price of its biggest export, Iron Ore. The health of the Chinese economy, its largest trading partner, is a factor, as well as inflation in Australia, its growth rate and Trade Balance. Market sentiment – whether investors are taking on more risky assets (risk-on) or seeking safe-havens (risk-off) – is also a factor, with risk-on positive for AUD.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) influences the Australian Dollar (AUD) by setting the level of interest rates that Australian banks can lend to each other. This influences the level of interest rates in the economy as a whole. The main goal of the RBA is to maintain a stable inflation rate of 2-3% by adjusting interest rates up or down. Relatively high interest rates compared to other major central banks support the AUD, and the opposite for relatively low. The RBA can also use quantitative easing and tightening to influence credit conditions, with the former AUD-negative and the latter AUD-positive.
China is Australia’s largest trading partner so the health of the Chinese economy is a major influence on the value of the Australian Dollar (AUD). When the Chinese economy is doing well it purchases more raw materials, goods and services from Australia, lifting demand for the AUD, and pushing up its value. The opposite is the case when the Chinese economy is not growing as fast as expected. Positive or negative surprises in Chinese growth data, therefore, often have a direct impact on the Australian Dollar and its pairs.
Iron Ore is Australia’s largest export, accounting for $118 billion a year according to data from 2021, with China as its primary destination. The price of Iron Ore, therefore, can be a driver of the Australian Dollar. Generally, if the price of Iron Ore rises, AUD also goes up, as aggregate demand for the currency increases. The opposite is the case if the price of Iron Ore falls. Higher Iron Ore prices also tend to result in a greater likelihood of a positive Trade Balance for Australia, which is also positive of the AUD.
The Trade Balance, which is the difference between what a country earns from its exports versus what it pays for its imports, is another factor that can influence the value of the Australian Dollar. If Australia produces highly sought after exports, then its currency will gain in value purely from the surplus demand created from foreign buyers seeking to purchase its exports versus what it spends to purchase imports. Therefore, a positive net Trade Balance strengthens the AUD, with the opposite effect if the Trade Balance is negative.

AUD/USD trades in negative territory around 0.6355 in Monday’s early Asian session.
The Fed is expected to cut the rate by 25 bps at its December meeting on Wednesday.
The dovish stance of the RBA undermines the Aussie.
The AUD/USD pair extends its downside to near 0.6355 during the early Asian session on Monday, pressured by the firmer Greenback. Traders will keep an eye on the preliminary US December Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) on Monday ahead of the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate decision.
The two-day Fed meeting ends Wednesday with an expected 25 basis points (bps) cut. Analysts expect the US central bank to cut whilst preparing the market for a pause as the US economy is robust and progress on inflation may be stalling above 2%. Markets are now almost fully pricing a 25 basis points (bps) cut at the Fed's December meeting, compared with about 78% odds a week ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
The Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference and Dot Plots will be closely monitored. Any hawkish remarks from Fed officials could lift the US Dollar (USD) and act as a headwind for the pair. Powell maintained a cautious tone earlier this month, saying, “We can afford to be a little more cautious as we try to find neutral.” Powell signaled that he is not in a hurry to reduce rates. "The economy is strong, and it's stronger than we thought it was going to be in September,” said Powell.
On the other hand, the dovish tilt in the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) stance weighs on the Aussie. Traders raise their bet that the RBA will cut interest rates sooner and likely deeper than initially expected. Nonetheless, future decisions will be data-driven, with evolving risk assessments shaping the RBA’s approach.
Additionally, Chinese authorities led by President Xi Jinping vowed to raise the fiscal deficit target next year with a shift of policy focus to consumption in an effort to boost the economy as looming US tariffs threaten exports. Investors are hoping for fiscal support as monetary measures disappoint and lack concrete details on policies, dragging the Australia Dollar (AUD) lower against the USD.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
