To frame the session today (and perhaps also the near ones) is necessary to go back yesterday, when Bloomberg published an article on the ECB’s monetary policy. According to this article, the Central Bank was considering reducing its financial asset acquisition plan, and this reduction is called tampering. According to the report, the ECB would be to draft a plan to gradually decrease (possibly in steps of 10 000 M. €) its asset purchase program currently at 80 000 M. € / month. This program is scheduled to end in March 2017 and in the market there was the expectation that this period could be extended and possibly increased the amount. However, the intervention of Mario Draghi at the September meeting and some later interventions of a few members of the institution have shaken investors’ expectations.
