ECB hikes in-line with expectations, EUR drops, DE30 gains
The European Central Bank delivered a 75 basis point rate hike, in-line with market expectations. Statement also showed that interest rates are expected to continue to rise in the coming months. ECB also announced that it will change terms of TLTRO loans with details being announced at 2:45 pm BST.
