Minutes just out. More to follow

  • member agreed that emphasis needed to be placed on steady course, firm implementation of QE
  • policy measures are working as intended
  • strong signal needs to be sent to Eurozone govts over need for structural reform
  • members agreed that there was no need to consider change in monetary policy but there was a need for flexibility

Euro dipping on that last comment it seems to me as I can't see anything else too obvious on first read through

  • risks to economy more balanced but remain on downside
  • concerns on scarcity of QE bonds are overstated
  • weak euro and lower oil supportive of broadening economic upturn
