ECB HOLDS RATES STEADY, STAYS DATA-DEPENDENT The European Central Bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged: the deposit rate at 2.00%, the main refinancing rate at 2.15%, and the marginal lending rate at 2.40%, in line with expectations. The ECB said the economy remains resilient but the outlook is uncertain due to global trade tensions and geopolitics. It reaffirmed its commitment to bringing inflation to its 2% target and will continue making policy decisions on a meeting-by-meeting, data-dependent basis.(*Walter Bloomberg)
