DE30 awaits ECB decision

12:21 21 July 2022
  • DE30 holds above monthly beaten downtrend line

  • Markets await ECB decision

  • Mario Draghi resigns as PM, Gazprom resumes gas supplies

Market sentiment has been mixed during today's session. The German DE30 is currently down 0.4%, the French FRA40 is up 0.34% and the Polish W20 is down 1.05%.  

Today's session is full of big events in Europe. Russian gas deliveries via Nord Stream 1 have resumed, uniformly at 40% capacity. Despite the resolution of some concerns, the situation remains tense, as Klaus Müller, chairman of the German Federal Network Agency, confirmed. Secondly, investors are estimating the impact of Mario Draghi's resignation as Italian Prime Minister. The key event today, however, is the ECB's decision on interest rates. Economists are divided on whether the ECB will hike by 25 or 50 basis points, so there is the possibility of a surprise. In addition, the ECB is likely to give some details on how it is trying to prevent fragmentation of eurozone bond markets.
