The euro plunged against the dollar and yen on Thursday after ECB President Mario Draghi said the euro exchange rate was important to growth and price stability which investors took as a sign the bank is concerned with the single currency's recent advance.
The euro was last at $1.3398, down 0.9 percent on the day, with the session low at $1.3369, the lowest since January 25. At the low it was the biggest one-day percentage drop since June. The euro was down 1.2 percent against the yen at 125.08 yen, with the session low at 124.48 yen. The dollar was down 0.3 percent against the yen at 93.36 yen, but still within reach of the peak touched on Wednesday, the highest since May 2010.
