ECB reported to be reluctant to put specific end-date on QE asset purchases

Story doing the rounds from Reuters citing sources 14 July

  • ECB reluctant to specify when QE asset purchases will fall to zero
  • likely to seek flexibility in eventual cuts to programme

"Sources familiar with the discussion" say Reuters

Say one:

"The Fed has done the most successful exit from its asset buying so it's the example for us to study. The important thing is not to pre-commit and keep it very gradual"

All to add to the conjecture and stories out there right now on ECB tapering.

Yesterday I reported on WSJ sources saying Draghi may announce something at Jackson Hole in August.

EUR pairs unfazed still.

ECB meet next Thursday but no key changes expected .

Draghi to take a lead from Yellen ?
