ING’s FX team notes that a rate hike by the ECB is fully priced into EUR/USD, limiting upside for the Euro. They stress that even additional ECB hawkishness may not translate into Euro gains, as markets already discount tighter policy. The analysis suggests EUR/USD may find it difficult to rally on ECB decisions.

Hawkish ECB already in the price

"A hike from the ECB today is fully priced in."

"The euro will struggle to benefit from ECB hawkishness."

"FX Daily: Euro already prices a hawkish ECB."
