The ECB announced it would buy bonds at a significantly higher pace over the next quarter, citing recent rises in yields and expected higher headline inflation. The ECB raised its 2021 GDP and inflation forecasts.

The faster bond buying widens the policy gap with the Federal Reserve, which is not reacting to rising yields. That gap supports the dollar against the euro while euro-zone recovery lags.
