The ECB persists constructive. Today, it left monetary policy stable, proving its expectation that net asset purchases will stop in December and policy rates will persist at their prevailing levels at least through the summer of 2019. The ECB also broadly affirmed its forecast for GDP and CPI as well as the risks to an extension, with the latter still seen as widely balanced amid rebounding domestic demand.
