ECB QE count week ending 8 April 2016

  • Bought 18.819bn vs 8.759bn prior
  • Total covered bonds 166.8bn vs 165.8bn prior
  • Total ABS 19.2bn vs 19.0bn prior

So around the 19bn mark, as I expected earlier. No real jump up in ABS buys though.

The euro has decided to lift itself to 1.1435 from 1.1413.
