• Europe is weak spot in global economy
  • Many things still in movement on quantitative easing discussion
  • Government bond purchases one option for ECB purchases
  • ECB discussing ‘range of options’ on QE
  • Key issue is to avoid legal issues with QE
  • ECB far away from price stability goal

Nothing notable from Nowotny but the lack of a strong endorsement on QE from many members of the ECB is worrisome for the crowded EUR/USD short trade.
