Forex News: ECB Draghi on the wires

Posted by Greg Michalowski on Fri, 07/18/2008 - 8:04am in
  • ELEVATED INFLATION MORE PERSISTENT THAN THOUGHT
  • PRICE EXPECTATIONS BETTER ANCHORED THAN IN PAST
  • POLICY COMMUNICATION CURRENTLY MORE CHALLENGING
  • SAYS CENTRAL BANKS MUST MATCH WORDS WITH DEEDS
  • MARKET TURMOIL CONFIRMS ECB'S MONETARY ANALYSIS
  • ECONOMIC FORECASTS HAVE BECOME MORE DIFFICULT
  • HEIGHTENING AWARENESS OF WORSENING CPI RISK
  • PRICE EXPECTATIONS STOPPED RISING AFTER RATE HIKE
  • TIMELY RATE MOVE BETTER THAN LATE CORRECTIONS

Analysis:  The sabre rattling continues from the ECB about inflation.  They are intent on wringing out the secondary effects of inflation. 

Note that ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet was quoted earlier in an interview that the ECB would do what is appropriate to maintain price stability and avoid the second round effects of inflation.
