Mario Draghi’s speech Live Coverage – ECB Press Conference Today

The European Central Bank will meet today at 12:45GMT, while President Mario Draghi is expected to hold his usual press conference at 13:30GMT.

Market consensus expects the ECB’s statement to come in (almost) unchanged from the January meeting. However, the focus of attention will be on the probability that the central bank could drop the easing bias (favoured by some members in January). In addition, market participants will also look for any clues regarding QE exit (ish).
