The ECB represented its new easing package last week for propping up inflation and supporting the EU economy versus the global economic downside risks.
But The ECB's president Mario Draghi liked to direct the markets further during the regular post-decision press conference by saying that the ECB would be moving away from interest rate cuts towards "unconventional" measures in the future adding that rates can go into unlimited negative territory to cap the expectations of using more interest rate cuts for supporting the economy.
The single currency reacted positively to his signal to rebound across the broad, after direct diving following the decisions of cutting the deposit rate by 0.1% to a new historical low at -0.4%, raising the pace of its QE buying from €60bn to €80bn a month and offering unlimited LTRO loans to banks for 4 years at near-zero cost to lower the pressure of cutting the interest rate on the banking sector.
From another side, the greenback came under pressure across the broad, as the markets participants lowered their expectations of watching new interest rate hikes in US soon and the turn is now on the Fed to refer to the negative impact of the global economic slowdown to signal longer waiting for the next tightening step, despite the US labor market continued improving.
The appetite of loading US equities could be boosted by these odds which weighed down on the demand for US treasuries in the same time driving its yields up by the end of last week ahead of this week new FOMC meeting.
