More to follow

  • ECB’s non-standard measures will stay in place as long as necessary
  • there are other measures, standard and non-standard, that we can use if needed
  • recent volatility in global fixed income markets is excessive in view of economic conditions
  • we need clear predictable rules for bank resolution, establishment of single resolution mechanism
  • continuation of low govt bond spreads can not be taken for granted
  • bank capital, liquidity buffers should be sufficient to withstand normalization in all market segments

Nothing new but a reminder that the ECB is one central bank not tightening any time soon

EURUSD a little lower at 1.3125
