EURUSD is pulling back today, following a steep rally that took place last week. Last week's advance was driven by ECB rate hike on Thursday. ECB President said at a post-meeting press conference that further tightening will likely be needed.
According to Gediminas Simkus, chief of Lithuanian central bank and ECB member, a rate hike in July should be delivered and it is not a matter of discussion. However, Simkus also said that ECB is nearing rate peak and it is too early to declare what decision will the Bank make at a meeting in September.
