FXStreet (Córdoba) - After failing to regain the 1.07 mark, EUR/USD came under renewed pressure and fell to fresh lows for the day.

ECB President Mario Draghi
hinted at more QE on Friday. He stated that given the slack growth momentum and that inflation remains below the 2.0% target, the bank is ready to take more action.
