500 miljard euro"

Bloomberg zegt te weten dat de ECB van plan is om 500 miljard euro aan Europese staatsobligaties te gaan kopen, maar vertelt niet hoe en wat precies. Hoewel? Investment-grade assets: AA(A)-stukjes, dus geen Italië, Spanje et cetera? Wel zegt het persbureau dat de koersen er nu op dalen, omdat het volgens de markt te weinig zou zijn.
Daar valt wat voor te zeggen. Het bericht kwam om 10:34 uur uit en precies vanaf dat moment zakten de Europese indices. Hier is de Bloomberg-tekst:
European stocks fell after the European Central Bank was said to study models for buying as much as 500 billion euros ($591 billion) of investment-grade assets.
The Stoxx 600 lost 0.2 percent to 341.68 at 10:31 a.m. in London. After rising as much as 0.1 percent, the measure extended losses after a person familiar with the matter said ECB staff was presented with various quantitative-easing options, including buying only AAA-rated debt or bonds rated at least BBB-.
“This has the potential to have a negative impact as it is only 500 billion euros,” Soeren Steinert, who helps manage $24 billion as associate director for equities trading at Quoniam Asset Management GmbH in Frankfurt, said in a phone interview. “Other higher numbers were rumored -- even trillions -- and Draghi talked about unlimited firepower. So these dramatic words built up expectations. I don’t think this is big enough.”
