ECB: Seven Months

Just seven months after the formal end of quantitative easing, the ECB is already “examining options for new asset buying” after disappointing inflation results.

By any measure, this is a massive shift in a very short time frame. Yet, equity markets weren’t pleased as they didn’t get immediately what they wanted, even though they will likely get it later. Draghi gave a somewhat nuanced message at his press conference, highlighting positive developments such as the strength of the labour market and resilience in both the construction and services sectors. But this was ill-received. Nevertheless, more stimulus will likely find its way into equity markets at some time, but monetary policy-dependent equity markets are impatient, it seems.
