There is therefore an air of tapering in the USA. The economy sends comforting signals; the service index returns to 2005 level, Ford predicts that in the next few years auto sales will exceed the 17 million mark, the all-time high.

In Frankfurt, meanwhile, the ECB guarantees that it will leave rates low for a long period of time.
