Global macro overview for 04/12/2015:

At its monthly meeting, the European Central Bank cut the interest rate to 0,05% from 0.1% and cut deposit rate by 10 basis points to -0.30% yesterday. Moreover, the ECB opted to leave the size of its asset purchases unchanged and extend it to only March 2017, only six months beyond when it had previously committed it. Market participants had expected more decisive actions from Draghi than he presented. As the result of the great disappointment, the EUR/USD pair exploded to the upside making a high at the level of 1.0980.

Currently, the EUR/USD pair is trading at the level of 1.0875. The next weekly resistance is at the level of 1.1096 and the next support is seen at the level of 1.0831.
