The Euro reached a new height against majors yesterday after ECB president, Mario Draghi made the decision of the union to increase stimulus known, but sadly European stocks failed to respond likewise and fell to their lowest in three weeks as the struggle to lift inflation to 2 percent target in the region lingered. If non-farm payroll came out positive, I will be looking to sell EU and EURGBP pairs.

Edited: I sold these two pairs as stated
