EUR ticks lower after Kazimir remarks

Peter Kazimir, member of the European Central Bank governing council, said that the ECB is closely monitoring the situation in the banking sector and that it is ready to step in to ensure price and financial stability in the euro area. However, his remarks relating to the monetary policy show that ECB is somewhat concerned by the uncertainty caused by recent banking failures in the US and Europe - Kazimir revealed that ECB members agreed not to provide guidance for the May meeting. On the other hand, Kazimir said in the very same speech that he thinks that inflation is too high for too long and that further rate hikes are needed, although possibly at a slower pace, which is a kind of guidance on its own. Speaking about future decisions he said that core inflation developments and trends will be key in determining the next move.

EUR ticked lower during Kazimir's speech but the move was very small and has been completely erased by now. The pair is trying to recover from an overnight drop that was launched after repeated failures to break above the 1.0850 swing area.
