• Christine Lagarde to hold key press conference on Thursday.
• European Central Bank raises interest rates by 25 basis points as expected.
• Q&A section of speech will be important to determine ECB hawkish or dovish tone.

Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank (ECB), will hold a press conference on Thursday, May 4 at 12:45 GMT, 30 minutes after the publication of the ECB monetary policy decision statement. The ECB raised interest rates by 25 basis points as expected.

You can follow the ECB press conference, with Christine Lagarde’s speech, in the following video:

The Q&A session by Christine Lagarde will be key to shaping the market reaction. The 25 basis point rate hike could be accompanied by hawkish remarks from the ECB president.

The ECB has been raising interest rates in the past months, since the summer of 2022, lifting the main operations rate from 0% to the current 3.75%. In the previous press conference in March, Lagarde notoriously wore an owl pin on her jacket, a metaphor as a way to distance herself from both the hawkish or dovish camps.

How Lagarde operates this time around will be crucial to the market reaction, particularly for the Euro, which has retraced from year-to-date highs close to 1.1100 to just above 1.1000 after the ECB rate decision release.

Christine Lagarde was born in 1956 in Paris, France. Graduated from Paris West University Nanterre La Défense and became President of the European Central Bank in November 1st 2019. Prior to that, she served as Chairman and Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund between 2011 and 2019. Lagarde previously held various senior ministerial posts in the Government of France: she was Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industry (2007–2011), Minister of Agriculture and Fishing (2007) and Minister of Commerce (2005–2007).
