Highlights:

At today’s meeting, the ECB did not adjust its commitment to leave key rates at the present level for at least through the summer of 2019.

The ECB is still in assessment mode and will discuss policy implication at the March meeting.
We see an increased risk that the ECB will postpone the timing of its first (depo) rate hike into 2020.
