ECB likely to hold rates while Fed eases further
"EUR/USD plunged to near 1.1700 after testing a multi-month high at 1.1800 yesterday. Germany’s IFO business expectations index dips in December (actual: 89.7, consensus: 90.5, prior: 90.5) but remains indicative of an ongoing recovery in Eurozone economic activity."
"ECB is in a good place to keep rates on hold for some time while the Fed has more easing in the pipeline. As such, relative ECB/Fed policy stance underpins the uptrend in EUR/USD."
