The real question is: what are the trading implications? What positions can be enacted to best take advantage of this? Short EUR/USD? What about against a cross like being short EUR/AUD or EUR/CAD? I would prefer the latter, if only that the US Dollar Index seems to be rolling over (see chart below, where uptrend has broken and MACD divergence with higher price but lower MACD).

What about fixed income trade in Europe? Like fixed income in the US, historical volatility is dropping hard and signals like ADX and Bollinger Bands indicate that it should break soon. The only problem is that in this environment it is unclear which way it breaks (I am biased toward lower prices, higher yields).
Caution dictates waiting until the market tells us what our position should be.
