On ECB’s long expected move tomorrow: A “transmission protection mechanism” may ease some worries in bond markets but calls for more aggressive hikes are here to stay and will test ECB’s commitment to its mandate, if only to resynchronize with #FederalReserve and BoE. #ecb#euro
@CatherineDVries Yes and no. The #eu can’t have a ‘script’ since a permanent negotiation framework. The euro-area crisis only made latent creditor-debtor relations explicit. Because of the spotlight argument, much of DE policy will be geared to avoid the limelight @chriswratil
