Overnight, Isabel Schnable revealed that ECB are expecting a strong rebound of economy to be happened in second half of year 2021 when containment measure are lifted and majority of the European population are vaccinated. Recently, the rollout of Covid-19 vaccination is at an ever increasing speed across the European Union, with an aim to avoid any possibility of virus\u2019s resurgence while controlling the spread of new strain virus. However, Schnable also reiterated that the inflation is currently projected to be remained at low level for a certain period of time, hence an accommodative policy is justified to be remain unchanged until further sign of strong recovery. On the other hand, the gains of EUR\/USD was further boosted up after Federal Reserve concluded their meeting with a dovish stance. As of writing, the pair of EUR\/USD jumped by 0.21% to 1.2150.<\/p>\n
