THE DRAG MAY BE OVER


Some observers seem to believe Mario Draghi, the would-be EU's answer to the U.S.'s Ben Bernanke, looks as if he's about to quit dragging his monetary-policy feet and cause if he can a little inflation in the EU zone.

EU area inflation is the weakest its been in four years increasing year-over-year in March just 0.5%, hardly enough to ward off all the concerns there about more deflation. So when is when, this June some are saying, the head of the ECB will ply his hoped-for monetary magic. 

The longer this drags on, however, the more heat Draghi and his merry band of central bankers can expect.
