The EUR/USD pair has increased by 0,09 per cent to 1,0627, having recovered from the sharp fall on Thursday after the European Central Bank stated that it would extend the Asset Purchase program by nine months.

The monthly Asset Purchase volume would stand the same under the QE (Quantitative easing) programme – at 80 billion Euro per month till the April 2017 and then the ECB will shorten the purchase amount to 60 billion Euro per month. 

And in addition, as predicted, ECB had left its target rate unchanged at historically low levels.
