EUR falls to lowest level in almost three years

The euro pushed lower, hitting levels not seen in almost three years. EUR/USD fell as low as 1.0827. Investors' concern with the economic growth of the region caused speculation that the European Central Bank might ease monetary policy. News that the spread of the coronavirus is slowing caused a shift in risk sentiment. The market will remain vulnerable to headlines regarding the coronavirus.
