ECB set to add more stimulus
Indices from the Old Continent are seen opening lower on Thursday following a heavy tech sell-off on Wall Street yesterday. The day is looking interesting for European markets thanks to two big events - EU summit on budget and ECB meeting. Poland, Hungary and Germany reportedly reached a compromise on the EU budget yesterday but nothing should be taken for granted as there are some member states that are sceptical towards the compromise on rule-of-law mechanism. When it comes to the ECB, rates are likely to be left unchanged but more stimulus is expected to be added.
12:45 pm GMT - ECB rate decision.
