The European Central Bank stripped out details of its bond-purchase plan from a daily report on euro-region liquidity conditions, disguising the size of its market activity.
The ECB said in a market notice today that asset purchases were excluded from the category titled "Outstanding Open Market Operations." A central bank spokesman declined to comment. Executive Board member Jose Manuel Gonzalez-Paramo said yesterday the ECB won't say how much it bought when it announces details of how it plans to sterilize the purchases next week.
