Is the best is the enemy of the good?

US economic reports may be too good  for markets as they both tend to fuel inflationary fears and lower the need for a big stimulus package.

The Italian bond spread is narrowing on prospects of a Draghi government, but nothing is done. The euro keeps on weakening against the USD nevertheless, as the market seems catching up with the widening spread between the US and German bond yields.
