EUROPE
Euro area Economic Outlook: Still a vulnerable recoveryNordea
We see no need to change our growth forecast for the Euro area: 1.3% for this year, 1.6% for 2016. We still expect the mainly consumption-driven recovery to go on, but not to strengthen significantly. Recently, external downside risks have increased. Inflation is likely to increase towards the end of this year, but we expect it to remain below the ECB target for the whole forecast horizon. Policy rates will remain very low and we expect the ECB will have to continue buying bonds beyond 2016.

Mark Thoma: Why the Fed Must Banish the 1970’s Inflation Devil Before Raising RatesThe Fiscal Times
My preference is for the Fed to wait until it actually sees clear evidence of increasing inflation before slowing the economy and, at the same time, slowing the wage growth that workers have been waiting so long to see. However, that is likely too much to ask. But the Fed should at least be patient.
