ECB preview: slower, longer, stronger – Pictet

We expect the ECB to announce a 9-month extension of asset purchases, until at least September 2018, at a monthly pace of EUR30bn. The ECB’s emphasis on “patience and persistence” means that an even longer QE extension is possible, e.g. at EUR20-25bn for 12 months.

ECB preview: Dovish tapering – Nordea

The low inflation numbers will keep the ECB’s tapering decision dovish, and emphasis will be on the forward guidance. After all the leaks, the decision should not lead to major market moves, but short-term volatility will be unavoidable.
