After doing some digging the news that sunk the euro this morning was from Klaas Knot who is on the ECB governing council and governor of the Dutch central bank , and ECB vice pres Vitor Constancio. The news apparently came out yesterday in some newsrooms and over the weekend.
I can only attribute the reason for the reaction to the fact that some new news feeds have been added to the MNI service and they carried the headlines this morning via my chart feed ( and no doubt on other systems as well.
How this news wasn’t picked up over the last two days and was such a shock this morning is beyond me. If the new providers were looking for impact on their first day then they got it in spades.
