GLOBAL MARKETS-Euro craters, dollar soars, as ECB holds off on rate hikes
The U.S. dollar rose against a basket of major currencies by more than a penny as the euro cratered, and U.S. stocks ticked up in afternoon trading on Thursday, as the European Central Bank signalled interest rate hikes were a long way off. The ECB now plans to reduce monthly asset purchases between October and December to 15 billion euros until the end of 2018 and then conclude the program. Investors, though, seized on comments indicating that interest rates would stay at record lows at least through the summer of 2019, and some analysts believed it may be longer.

Trump has riled key allies by pursuing protectionist trade policies, including the imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs on the European Union, Canada and Mexico.
