European Economic Slowdown is Raising New Investor Concerns

Governing Council Member of the ECB Francois Villeroy de Galhau was quoted by Bloomberg, as hinting towards a possible change in tone of ECB's economic policy, more precisely its interest rate usage.

As we saw in the previous article, the seasonally adjusted industrial production report was overall disappointing, with even the biggest economy in the Union, that of Germany, struggling to register any growth.

Any potential change to interest rate policy by the ECB is going to have more drastic undertones, compared to what we got used to seeing recently, which is going to have the greatest effect in European Bonds market and the Euro as well. In any case, the block's biggest concern at present is the transition process of the union's divorce with the UK.
