The decision to change interest rates and the ECB conference maintain the upward trend in EURUSD quotes, indicating a strengthening of the euro. This is due to the fact that the central bank's decision was in line with expectations, and President Lagarde's statements did not indicate a change in the ECB's attitude to a possible strengthening of the central bank's dovish stance.
