ECB's Benoit Coeure on the wires from an interview with the Boersen Zeitung newspaper
- will continue policy of steady hand
- ECB plans to continue covered bond buys until Sept 2016
As per the ECB Minutes released yesterday
- recovery remains weak and only gradual
- "not worried by what I see" so far

- unconventional measures must be temporary
- global markets currently marked by "exceptional nervousness"
- ECB will only be forced to act when economic situation or mon pol situation changes dramatically

EURUSD 1.1117 after a solid retreat to session lows of 1.1106 in a general grab of the greenback
