Benoît Cœuré: Rebalancing in the euro area: are we nearly there yet?ECB

ECB preview: Willing and able, but not readyNordea
The ECB remains willing and able to act, but will not be in any rush to do so at the January meeting. Despite the plunged oil prices, longer-term inflation expectations have not fallen to new lows. The door will be left wide open for more measures at the March meeting, but no firm signals about imminent easing are likely to be in store. There is a risk Draghi will use too much time on justifying how much the ECB is already doing, and thus cause a small rise in bond yields and the euro.
