EUR/GBP advances as Draghi speaks
FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/GBP pushed to fresh daily highs as Draghi speaks in a press conference after the ECB decided to keep rates unchanged, as expected.
Draghi sounded dovish as expected, reiterating risks remain to the downside and low inflation is expected to persist.

ECB President also said further details of the program will be unveiled in a press release at 13:30 GMT (3:30 PM).
Despite the dovish stance, EUR/GBP managed to advance a few pips and hit a 1-week high of 0.7836. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 0.7830, 0.43% above its opening price.
