European Central Bank hold rates steady
Earlier, the Bank of England held its key rate steady at 5.5 percent, resisting a growing chorus for a cut amid mounting signs of a consumer-led economic slowdown. Most analysts expected the ECB would hold rates steady, but said the Bank of England faced a closer call. The ECB's benchmark refinancing rate has stood at 4 percent since last June. With people paying more for energy and food, the ECB faces inflation estimated at 3.1 percent — well above its guideline of just under 2 percent — but also must contend with sliding business and consumer confidence amid jittery markets. The ECB considers fighting inflation its main mission, but also is mindful of the broader economic context _ in which its fellow central banks have been cutting rates, and European businesses and politicians have fretted about the impact of competitiveness of the euro's strength against the U.S.
