- Decisions taken by the Governing Council of the ECB (in addition to decisions setting interest rates) — European Central Bank — press
In brief
Non-rate ECB decisions can move euro-area sovereign bond spreads, bank lending conditions and the euro itself, touching instruments from EUR/USD to European equity indices and short-term rates. Central bank operational changes often transmit gradually through funding markets rather than instantly.

Non-rate ECB decisions are easy to underweight because they rarely make headlines, but for FX they can matter through funding conditions: changes to collateral frameworks, asset purchase reinvestment or TLTRO-style lending terms can shift euro-area money market rates and cross-currency basis without any move in the policy rate. I'd want to read the primary document before saying which channel is most relevant here, since the press summary doesn't say which instruments are affected. Which decision in this release do you think would transmit to EUR/USD fastest?
