Despite no change in the policy rate and the QE program, the EUR gained as President Mario Draghi added some upbeat flavors at the press conference and as the staff upgraded the inflation forecasts. EURJPY rose to its highest level since early February and up 0.8% for the week.
The big theme of these days is the slide in OIL prices.
