  • *DRAGHI SAYS APPRECIATING EURO WOULD BE RISK TO RECOVERY (sell!)
  • *DRAGHI SAYS JUNE POLICY MEASURES HAS EASED POLICY FURTHER (see sell!!)
  • *DRAGHI SAYS RISKS TO ECONOMIC OUTLOOK ARE ON DOWNSIDE (really sell please!!!)
  • *DRAGHI SAYS READY TO USE UNCONVENTIONAL TOOLS WITHIN MANDATE (Seriously sell!!!)

For now, EURUSD dropped 5 pips and rallied back to unch... not exactly what he hoped for...

Draghi's demands...

  • *DRAGHI SAYS EURO MEMBERS MUST ACT ON STRUCTURAL REFORMS
  • *DRAGHI SAYS MUST TAKE CARE NOT TO ROLL BACK FISCAL AGREEMENTS

Well how's that going to happen when markets signal politicians that everything's fixed?
