020 7898 0500On Thursday, the Euro fell against a basket of currencies. European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi said the effect of the bond buying programme has been ‘significant’, and stated that the fall in long term interest rates have weakened the currency.
However, over the course of the week it has been positive for the euro as it strengthened universally. We seem to be a step closer to the Greek debt problem being sorted out (for the time being) and economic data out of the Eurozone has been positive and in some cases very positive. The important point to remember though is the ECB still wants the euro to be weak to boost export competiveness and when they want something they tend to get it.
