European Central Bank hold rates steady
Earlier, the Bank of England held its key rate steady at 5.5 percent, resisting a growing chorus for a cut amid mounting signs of a consumer-led economic slowdown. Most analysts expected the ECB would hold rates steady, but said the Bank of England faced a closer call. The ECB's benchmark refinancing rate has stood at 4 percent since last June.
