looking at when it comes to interest rates. that is what we talk about. what about the european central bank? a move to the downside for the euro. that is going to be one of the key issues. the events of this week, particularly in the central bank space are really going to highlight the themes that will dominate 2016. and that is increasing policy divergence. expectations of the fed moving in december. i think the market is certain on liftoff. the key question which probably the november payroll report will add color to is the flow of the monetary policy normalization from the fed. ecb, we are still seeing the preparation for multilayered easing. draghi in contrast to the fed is

very downbeat particularly on the outlook for inflation. in the euro area. particularly downbeat on the risks of emerging markets opposing to the european economic outlook. as a result of that, you clearly are going to see the somatic firmly established this week of increasing policy divergence between the ecb and the u.s. federal reserve over 2016. rishaad: what about give urgent monetary policy? how does that work in the financial markets? >> clearly, it is going to express itself throughout the financial markets. and the pricing of financial assets. what we have seen, ever since ben bernanke what the idea of the paper in 2013, is it. universal --d of
