Just as fast as it was printed, it falls

EUROPEAN UNION (INTELLIHUB) — After the European Central Bank (ECB) flooded the E.U. with €1 trillion in newly printed fiat currency Thursday, ripple effects resonated throughout markets far beyond the eurozone sending investors into a frenzy.

Now, “Under quantitative easing, central banks” are creating “new bank reserves to buy assets from financial institutions. Central banks get bonds, and banks get money that they can in turn use to extend new credit to households and businesses. Such expansionary monetary policies usually weaken an economy’s exchange rate, which boost exports. The euro weakened to 11-year lows after the ECB announcement as European bond prices rose.”, reports the Wall Street Journal.

All of this is leading to political revolts from citizenry of the 19-member eurozone as unemployment rates remain at an all-time high. Not to mention experts wonder if the massive stagnation can even be broken, with Q.E..

Moreover, the general public is losing trust with all elected officials as a Mad Max-like scenario nears.

Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel is now worried about reforms, announcing at the Davos Forum recently that it’s “time to get our houses in order”.

No matter which way you slice it, pumping €1 trillion of fiat currency into the economy is not going to solve the problem, but rather intensify it.

Now some predict the Euro will slide to become equal with the U.S. dollar as the ECB’s maneuver is likely an epic failure, further scaring investors away.

“Investors predict the euro will fall faster against the greenback than the yen in the near term because it has more pressing factors driving it lower.”, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Only time will tell.
