Investors who were expecting fireworks during Mario Draghi\u2019s press conference were left empty-handed as nothing new was brought to the table. Although Draghi expressed optimism over the health of the European economy and inflation, this was interpreted as old news to markets.<\/p>\n<p>A key takeaway from today\u2019s meeting was when the ECB repeated that interest rates will be left on hold until \u201cat least through the summer of 2019\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For those who are wondering why the Euro has depreciated despite the unexciting ECB meeting, the answer can be found in the Dollar\u2019s appreciation. Positive U.S durable goods orders and jobless claims have boosted sentiment towards the US economy consequently stimulating appetite for the Greenback. With the Euro failing to gain any support from Mario Draghi, an appreciating Dollar simply sent the EURUSD lower.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing on the technical picture, the EURUSD remains in a range on the daily charts. The breakdown below 1.1700 could inspire a decline towards 1.1690 and 1.1630, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><strong>Disclaimer:\u00a0<\/strong>The content in this article comprises personal opinions and should not be construed as containing personal and\/or other investment advice and\/or an offer of and\/or solicitation for any transactions in financial instruments and\/or a guarantee and\/or prediction of future performance.
