For some unknown reason, Trichet is keen not to surprise markets over the very short term. He tips them off about what he plans to do one month in advance, using code words like “vigilance” to signal policy change, all the while maintaining with a straight face that the bank never “pre-commits” its policy stance.
不知出于什么原因，特里谢致力于不给市场短期的意外。他提前一个月向市场透露行动计划，使用“警惕”一类的暗号来提示政策变动。同时他又总是一脸严肃地表示ECB从不“预先承诺”其政策立场。
