Recent comments by Mario Draghi has confirmed the Council will reassess its monetary stance at its December meeting, with the increasing likeliness of the ECB incurring in additional easing measures in order to spur inflation figures.
Another bearish development lingering over EUR comes from the USD side, which continues to be supported by the chances of the Fed hiking rates as soon as next month.
