Forexlive European FX news wrap 23 Mar – Central Banks front and centre | Forexlive

A morning of central bank decisions comes to an end. Culminating in a dovish ‘Hike 25’ from the BoE.

ECB seems to be the outlier now in terms of ‘far from done’.

Before The Bell Roundup:

• Wall Street futures climbed, a day after the Federal Reserve hinted it was close to pausing its market-punishing interest rate hikes following the recent turmoil in the banking sector.
• European equities fell with lenders leading declines while Japan’s Nikkei share average closed lower.
• Gold prices extended gains as the dollar headed for its longest losing streak in 2-1/2 years.
• Oil prices dipped as U.S. crude stockpiles swelled. Later in the day the jobless claims and home sales data are due for release.
