- The European Central Bank hiked rates by 75 basis points,  leaving its three main rates sitting in a range of between 1.5 and 2.25 percent.

- This hike was widely expected and was made to combat soaring inflation, despite growing concern that the eurozone is hurtling towards a painful recession. 

- Post the policy, the Euro currency plunged by around 1 percent as the markets took the tone of the policy as more dovish on its rate outlook.

- ECB dropped a reference to increasing rates "over the next several meetings" that had been in its September statement, which traders took to mean that a series of large rate hikes was nearing an end.
