3rd Aug - EU Open: A Quest for the Request

EURUSD not crashing

Markets are not behaving as risk-averse as many thought after ECB's Draghi "failed to deliver".

Bailouts and securities purchase yes - but only after an official request for help and succumbing to a Troika program? Spanish yields moving up this morning (10y, 2y)

European markets are expected to open mixed Friday ahead of the US nonfarm payrolls for July scheduled later in the day. Investor sentiment was dented yesterday after the ECB President, Mario Draghi, offered no hints for additional monetary easing.

Draghi ei ilmoittanut uusista politiikkatoimenpiteistä, mikä oli markkinoille pettymys. Toimettomuudesta huolimatta Draghi kylvi useita mielenkiintoisia ajatuksia itämään jättäen odotuksia jatkoon.
