INSTANT INSIGHT | Central Planning, Currency Wars, & European Stocks - draghi devalue

A few interesting insights via foreign exchange markets. As Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough pointed out to subscribers this morning:

"The strong recovery day for the US Dollar yesterday after holding 94 @Hedgeye TREND support during the 2 week correction – rest of the world’s equities (Europe and Japan in particular need #StrongDollar as their stock markets aren’t working unless their FX weakens) – can Draghi break the Euro down to $1.05 vs USD in March? Doubt it."

That's why European markets are up today. The Euro is weakening.
