4. Tiered interest rate system on excess reserves
SG forecast: two-tier system ECB to copy the BoJ? Required minimum reserves with the BoJ have an interest rate of 0%, excess reserves in existence in January will earn 0.1%, new excess reserves created by the future expansion of the BoJ balance sheet are subject to an interest rate of -0.1%.
Consensus: n/a
Bottom line:
Further easing is expected from the ECB this week, but it is unlikely to push the EUR/USD exchange rate lower durably. We do not expect EUR/USD to break below the 1.04/1.05 low reached in 2015 over the course of this year, short of a Brexit scenario.
