‘Only option for ECB is Quantitative easing’

The European Central Bank may be running out of road. 

At the start of the year, the euro was plummeting and a fall in oil prices was supposed to give an additional boost to consumers in addition to its quantitative easing juicing the markets.

Now the euro is headed back up to where it was trading near the start of the year and inflation expectations are plummeting again, with the latest print showing the headline number unchanged at just 0.2% in August.
