ECB is expected to unleash a fresh round of stimulus measures on Thursday after inflation in the Euro zone remained at 0.1% in Nov compared to forecast of 0.2%.

The ECB may extend the QE beyond Sep 2016 and choose to continue till Mar 2017. Market are expecting to increase the monthly bond purchase by €10bn and to add €500 billion of asset purchases on the top of original €1.14 trillion

The central bank is expected to slash deposit rates further by 10 to 20 bpbs.

If ECB kept its deposit rates unchanged - EUR/USD is expected to move slightly higher and we can use this opportunity for entering fresh shorts.

If ECB cuts deposit rate by 10 -20 bpbs or more than expected deposit rate cuts will drag the pair till 1.0460/1.0400.
