Nothing but good news for markets from European Central Bank today

At today’s meeting the European Central Bank announced that it would leave interest rates in negative territory and continue to buy debt assets at the current monthly rate. In his post-meeting press conference ECB president Mario Draghi noted that despite an increase in economic growth in the EuroZone to 2.3% year over year in the second quarter, the bank has yet to see a sustained increase in the rate of inflation that would lead to a change in policy.
