EUR/AUD dips to fresh weekly lows below 1.41

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The EUR/AUD foreign exchange cross rate is last trading at 1.4118 off early NY session fresh weekly lows at 1.4060 printed on the back of ECB Draghi comments, and despite the fact the US was closed over holiday.

EUR/AUD down on Draghi's comments

EUR/USD, and EUR/AUD with it, had a massive drop breaking below the 1.29 and 1.41 marks respectively, following ECB chairman remarks pointing out that interest rates were expected “to remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time,” Draghi said. The cross is down -0.87% for the week so far, also helped by recent Aussie strength.
