Mid-Day Report: Euro Still in Range after ECB LTRO

Euro remains bounded in range after ECB said that another EUR 529.5b will be lent to 800 financial institutions in its second three-year LTRO operation. That's slightly larger than market's expectation of EUR 400b-500b but not far. Also, that compared to December's allotment of EUR 489b to 523 banks. While the total amount was more or less similar to expectation, the number of banks surprised the markets. It's taken as a signal that a lot more smaller financial institutions tapped into the funding and it's possible that more funding could be passed on to the real economy.
