Today's ECB meeting is not expected to result in any movement in interest rates but traders are eyeing the potential for both an extension of the bank's QE programme as well as some talk of an eventual bond-buying taper.

After a whiplash-inducing turnaround to start the week as the Italian refrerendum failed to push the euro lower the next key test for the single currency lies dead ahead with today’s ECB meeting. Given the recent euro strength it appears that shorts are most concerned about guidance on an eventual taper of QE purchases even if an extension is also in the offing.
