**** Update ****
Well that didn't last very long! As I thought, the spike was indeed very short lived, and in his press conference Mario Draghi has said that he doesn't think any further stimulus will now be necessary. The Euro has regained all it's losses, and some more, pushing rates down to €1.2820. It's already moving back up towards 1.29 however, and by the end of today, it's likely to be back to where we started the day at around €1.2950.
While in the grand scheme of things we're probably going to end up with the same exchange rate we started the day with, it's short term spikes in the market like we've seen today that can make a huge difference when exchanging currency, and my clients that were registered with me and ready to make a quick decision were able to take advantage, and trade at levels above €1.30.
