Bundesbank Shoots Draghi's Fox

Yesterday Mario Draghi, head of the ECB, was making all sorts of rash promises about the ECB doing whatever was needed to prop up the Euro etc.

I noted:
"Draghi then reverted to type, and promised that the ECB will "do whatever it takes to preserve the euro".

This of course is patently untrue
."
Today the Bundesbank has verified my conclusion, by stating that it remains opposed to further bond buying by the ECB.

Whatever Draghi might like to do, the Bundesbank won't allow him to do it; ie they have shot his fox.
