Mario Draghi tried. He really did. But the market would just not buy his dovish talk. The fact of the matter is that the Eurozone recovery is in full bloom and the ECB is definitely heading for a taper as it tries to normalize monetary policy after years of extraordinary measures.

Meanwhile, on this side of the Atlantic, attempts by the Fed to reassure the market that further rate hikes are coming look increasingly dubious as US data continues to disappoint.
