Account Of The Monetary Policy Meeting - Of The Governing Council Of The European Central Bank, Held In Vilnius On Wednesday And Thursday, 5-6 June 2019

Date 11/07/2019

1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options

Mr Cœuré reviewed the latest financial market developments.

Bond yields had declined to multi-year lows. In foreign exchange markets, the euro and the US dollar had appreciated in nominal effective terms, reflecting mainly the weakness in emerging market currencies and, in particular, the Chinese renminbi. At the same time, the euro had continued its gradual depreciation against the US dollar, a trend observed since the start of 2018 that likely related to changes in the relative growth outlook.
