sterilized bond buying implicates selling other assets from the balance sheet of the ECB, and I wonder what has the ECB to sell and who is gonna buy? The Fed sold short term treasuries and bought long term, flattening the yield curve, or at least attempting , if the ECB sells longterm PIIGS crappy bonds to buy short term, doesn't that steepen the yield curve? And who buys PIIGS crap? Yes! The Ezone banks... bolstered with ECB LTRO.
In computer theory that is called thrashing, like throwing all garbage from left side to right side, and back, and so on. So if done fast enough, garbage is always in the air. But not gone.

Merkel backs Draghi and Bundesbank and backs inflation and deflation. That is a fat fart, algos go in catch22 mode, Goedel and Turing rotate in their graves, predict uncontrolled oscillation and algos mutually deceiving until none can pay the power bill anymore.

What made EURUSD spike ? Draghi blurp. No chart astrologer can imagine how far EURUSD jumps up if Merkel farts. Algos respond to such noise.
China non manufacturing index nears recession , steel spots at all time low, if PBOC won't react soon
aussie will soon see parity.

Spain and Italy bonds still tell the big Draghi bailout bazooka coming. If ECB does not deliver tomorrow EURUSD may loose 200 pips, if big surprise may win 200 pips , thus we have political targets 1,23 and 1,27. Methinks 1.27 is more likely .
