EUR/USD still has limited downside – Rabobank

By FXStreet FXStreet (Guatemala) – Analysts at Rabobank explained that it is not often that a central bank manages to deliver a significant easing of monetary conditions through an as expected steady policy announcement but, by knocking the EUR significantly lower with promises of more policy stimulation, ECB President Draghi this week managed just that.
