The EUR/USD pair fell for most of the session on Monday, essentially as a reaction to the explosive move on Friday. Certainly, with all of the controversy surrounding the European Union, the massive move in the Euro would have been thought to have been a little overdone.

USD/CAD rose during the session as the markets reacted poorly to the lack of action brought forth by the ECB for the session on Thursday. After last week's proclamation of "doing whatever it takes" to protect the Euro, Mr. Draghi disappointed the markets by bringing almost nothing to the news conference.
