Yellen triggers USD selling frenzy
The theme this morning in Europe remain to sell the USD outright after Fed's Yellen maintained her dovish stance on monetary policy. The Fed Chairwoman warned "caution in raising rates is especially warranted," although the comment that broke the camel's back and led to total loss of faith on the USD was when Yellen said that the "Fed has considerable scope for stimulus if needed."
