S&P expects ECB to increase QE to €2.4 trillion

The question surrounding Euro is a trillion Dollar one and everyone is asking to be or not be. As of now European Central Bank (ECB) has only iterated that it stands ready to boost its current asset purchase program but if needed.

There are lot of confusion in the market, what will decide if needed - Prices are already back in deflationary zone, employment gains clearly lost pace, PMI report shows loss of momentum but as of now ECB policymakers are not sure how much a threat current environment, namely slowdown in China and emerging markets pose to Euro area.

While we at FxWirePro expects ECB to boost asset purchase further by first quarter next year, credit rating agency S&P even has a number for it.

Standard and Poor (S&P) expects ECB to boost balance sheet by another €1.3 trillion to €2.4 trillion.

Most in the market expects ECB to stay firm on its inflation commitments, though there are differences of opinion on when might ECB choose to act.
