The ECB is likely to leave its key interest rate, which is the rate on the main refinancing operations, at a record low zero percent. Although no new measures are expected at this meeting, markets anticipate an indication about further easing from the central bank chief.

ECB President Christine Lagarde is set to hold customary press conference at 9.30 am ET.
