EURo jumps on ECB rumours

There was a report yesterday from undisclosed ECB sources that the bank is considering tapering its QE program. The report was later denied by the bank's president Draghi, who said that tapering wasn't discussed.

The most affected pair was, of course, the Euro but the Swisse took advantage of broader US dollar strength that came in the aftermath of the decision. The pair is now back above 50 DMA with September (~0.984…
