The ECB left interest rates unchanged and renewed its pledge to continue asset purchases through the end of September. ECB President Mario Draghi played down soft first-quarter data in the eurozone, but also indicated that policy makers want to get a better grip on the causes of the slowdown before proceeding toward unwinding the bank’s ultraloose monetary policy.
