The
European Central Bank has cut its interest rates and for the first time in its
history, it has implemented negative interest rates during today´s
announcement. This is an attempt by the central bank to stimulate the economy
and make the inflation levels go up. This is what caused the Euro to drop
versus its major counterparts, especially versus the Dollar. But we also see on
the daily chart below of the EUR/USD that the price has come back to the levels
previous to the news release. Most probably, the market had already priced in
the actions by the ECB and probably the Euro does not deserve to be at such low
levels.
However,
tomorrow we have the Non-Farm Payrolls report out of the United States and if
the reading comes out better than expected, then we may see the Dollar strengthening
and most probably the Euro will keep losing ground versus the greenback.

Excellent analysis, you hit the essence.
