A last reminder into the 3pm ET ECB Draghi...>

EUROPE
EUROPE: A last reminder into the 3pm ET ECB Draghi speech at Jackson Hole Fed
conference, and here are some banks' varied views on such: 
- ECB President Draghi does not talk until well after European markets have gone
home for the wknd, and Gilt/Bund traders left for extra-long UK bank holiday
wknd, but he is not expected to touch on current QE program thinking. 
- HSBC economists: "With only 2 wks until next ECB meeting, HSBC does not expect
Draghi to sway from an academic speech linked to "Fostering a Dynamic Global
Economy", nor does it see much fresh coming from BoJ Governor Kuroda." 
- BMO's Ian Lyngen: Draghi:wk's "true wildcard;" which "leaves the emphasis on
Mario's comments over Janet's; post-close liquidity conditions on the last Fri
in August will certainly add to the volatility, if we do happen to see hear
anything more concrete about changes to the ECB's bond buying program." 
- TD: "while we are strategic EUR bulls, we think FX mkts may have overreacted
to Yellen's speech on the basis of a lack of hawkish undertones especially with
the mkt skeptical about future Fed policy already, particularly with Draghi yet
to speak."
