From the euro side, the dovish comments from ECB’s officials and the lower than expected CPI, erased any chances for a rate hike in October and this weighted negative on Euro. By the end of the week the pair experienced a sharp reversal on the upside recovering some lost ground. This might be due to some profits taking positions and a correction after pair entered an oversold territory.
