EUR/USD 

After two rate hikes of 75 basis points, the ECB could scale back the pace of rate hikes, said Mario Centeno, governor of the Bank of Portugal and European Central Bank governing council member.  

The ECB has a variety of tools at its disposal, and the interest rate tool is the instrument of choice to fight inflation. 

When inflation peaks and its trajectory become predictable, other tools may be used. We must reduce the size of our balance sheet.
