Mario Draghi has said there is no limit to how far the European Central Bank will go to hit its targets in a sharp response to market criticism that his latest stimulus package did not go far enough.

But the measures disappointed investors that have come to rely on Mr Draghi to smash expectations, with a broad market sell-off after the ECB failed to deliver deeper cuts and an increase in the pace of QE.

The challenges of central bank divergence By Martin Wolf

The US is years ahead of the EU in recovery and so at a different stage of the monetary policy cycle ©Bloomberg Janet Yellen, Federal Reserve chair T he European Central Bank eased monetary policy last week, albeit not enough to please markets. But the  US Federal Reserve  is widely expected to raise short-term rates next week. This divergence between the most important central banks is likely to prove significant.
