But today's statements from ECB Mario Draghi have brought such disappointment of not delivering what was expected have provided a nice bounce back higher for the EURO near the 1.0900 and drove the 1st decline for the USD @98.62 session low.

The market reaction where more correlated with the European majors and crosses but not as much as with the Asian currency pairs and their relative cross rates. Media highlights were so centered on a more active move from the ECB, as they were all expecting a 'shock & awe' with the ECB transparent guidance on addition more stimulus was really played out well to their advantage. But still got the awesome rally of the EURO.
Thus driving the initial decline for the USD along side disappointing bearish US reports leading to an even lower price touching 97.60 basis point. Meanwhile, the spill over effects on CABLE were relatively milder with a modest bounce @1.5155/60 levels.
The direct effect on the Euro were affected with short-covering rallies have added to some decent profit-taking for previous trades taken the past week. The market were pretty much mix after the price swings brought about from the press conference.
