One of my favorite descriptions in logic is "Necessary but not sufficient." Which is a pretty good description of reason that the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank didn't stop stocks from moving deeper into a bear market on Thursday despite huge and aggressive moves to add liquidity to the financial system. The Fed, […]

If it had come to a formal vote, there's a good chance that European Central Bank President Mario Draghi would have faced defeat in his efforts to revive quantitative easing at the central bank. But the bank doesn't usually hold a formal vote on a issue like this and by luck administrative rules removed the […]

Will the European Central Bank revive its program of bond-buying when it meets on Thursday? The bank only ended this program of quantitative easing in December. The markets are currently pricing in a new program of 40 billion euros a month in bond purchases--plus a 0.1 percentage point reduction in the central bank's deposit rate […]

We've seen this play before: Financial markets start to tumble and central banks step in--not with actual stimulus quite yet but certainly with talk of stimulus. The European Central Bank and the German government took a turn today. Germany's Der Spiegel magazine reported today that Chancellor Angela Merkel and Finance Minister Olaf Scholz would be willing […]

Once upon a time--as late as 2018--the consensus thinking in financial markets was that the Federal Reserve was but the first central bank to raise interest rates. Other central banks, most notably the European Central Bank, (but not the Bank of Japan, which may never raise interest rates again) were widely expected to follow suit. […]

On December 13 the European Central Bank will decide whether to cap its $2.9 trillion program of bond buying as planned. The bank had decided that Europe's economy was strong enough for the central bank to wind down its purchases of bonds that have kept interest rates down in the EuroZone and depressed the value […]

At today's meeting, the European Central Bank agreed to phase out its bond buying by the end of 2018 with purchases of $17.7 billion (15 billion euros) in each of the final three months of the year. (Bond buying will continue at the current rate of 30 billion euros a month before dropping to 15 […]
