Should the ECB disappoint expectations, bond and foreign-exchange markets would confront an abrupt and damaging unwinding of positions: long-term interest rates would rise, stock markets would sink, and the exchange rate would appreciate.
Kdyby ECB tato očekávání zklamala, trhy s dluhopisy a devizami by zažily překotné a škodlivé změny pozic: dlouhodobé úrokové sazby by vzrostly, ceny akcií by se propadly a směnný kurz zpevnil.
