Euro Zone Interest Rate Statement comes out once per month at 7:45 am New York Time.
When interest rate of a country is higher, it attracts investors to buy its currency, which increases the value of the currency versus other currencies.
So, when interest rate is unexpectedly hiked, traders tend to speculatively buy Euros, so EUR/USD tends to go up. When interest rate is unexpectedly cut, traders tend to speculatively sell Euros, so EUR/USD tends to go down. Sometimes economists expect that Euro Zone will raise its interest rate, but they keep it unchanged. In such case traders will also sell Euros, and EUR/USD will probably go down. Or if it's expected that Euro Zone will cut its rate, but they keep it unchanged, traders will buy Euros, so EUR/USD will probably go up.
I highly recommend you see the history of this indicator and charts of how it affected EUR/USD and other currencies. You can do that by following this link: Forex News Trading | Details and History for EUR Interest Rate Statement
