01[11:40] {@Threei}  It has been a turbulent morning for global markets as participants wrangle with headlines regarding Greece deal negotiations, the ECB post rate-decision press conference and the OPEC meeting in Vienna. Bonds are selling off hard while US equities are well bid
01[11:41] {@Threei}  Regarding QE, Draghi reaffirmed the council's commitment to following through with the full program through 2016 and crowed that all is going exactly according to plan. The staff raised their forecast for 2015 inflation to +0.3% from flat prior, after lowering it to that level from +0.7% back in March due to the oil price collapse. Responding to recent gains in inflation, Draghi said inflation is nowhere near close to the ECB's targets and that the total amount of purchases under QE would be adequate, and suggested if anything the ECB could even expand purchases if necessary.
