For a more enduring reversal of investor sentiment, the statements of Mario Draghi do not seem to be enough. To attend a recovery of stock markets, it should be confirmed any of the following conditions:

The meeting of the Fed today will not bring major changes in relation to what was broadcast to the market at its December meeting.
