Thursday U.S and European indices fell, as the European Central Bank announced its plan for tackling the continent’s debt crisis. The plan disappointed investors looking for more definitive measures to stimulate the region’s economy, while Mario Draghi’s comments failed to reassure investors on immediate efforts to strengthen the economy.
Investors expected that the ECB would have announced more concrete and immediate steps, considering the ECB president’s pledge last week to do “whatever it takes to save the euro”.
