US Session Bullet Report

The ECB press conference currently going on now has sent the EURO into a tailspin as President Mario Draghi announced that forecasts for inflation and GDP have been revised down for the Eurozone.

GDP growth forecasts for 2015 were revised to 1.4% versus 1.5% previously. The dissapointing announcement has added to recent woes over the global slowdown. As a result the EUR was immediately sold off plunging more than 100 points against the USD and JPY and continues to fall at time of writing.

President Draghi also cited the drop in Oil price as a means to support incomes and corporate profits.

Earlier, the ECB kept its base rate unchanged at 0.05% although Draghi indicated the ECB is prepared to use all instruments available if needed, perhaps paving the way for a further rate cut or an increase in its bond purchasing program.

Slightly earlier we had higher than expected jobless claims from US so all is not as rosy as once seemed and tomorrows NFP will most definately set the direction for next week.
