Summary:
The ECB cuts rates by 25 bp, but alters its statement to no longer say that policy is restrictive. But they warn that "trade tensions" are "likely to have a tightening effect." So are they saying policy is tight -- given the environment -- or aren't they? Like the Fed, it's deer in the headlights.
