FX Daily Strategist: Europe

– ECB hurt EUR-crosses and EURUSD; but we expect a bounce-back in EURUSD by year-end on a dovish Fed The ECB left its Refi rate unchanged at 0.75% yesterday, as expected, but President Mario Draghi’s dovish comments at the press-conference triggered a broad EUR sell-off.
