The euro dipped to its lowest level in almost two weeks on Thursday, on nagging concern over the direction of the European Central Bank’s stimulus scheme following a German court ruling earlier this week.

Turkey’s lira fell to a record low of 7.25 per U.S. dollar TRY= , after traders interpreted comments from a Federal Reserve policymaker as ruling out a Fed swap line to cushion Ankara’s depleted reserves. rallied after the Bank of England left interest rates steady and held off on more stimulus. The safe-haven yen edged away from near seven-week highs against the dollar.

The euro dipped to $1.07785 EUR=EBS , its lowest level in almost two weeks and reversing modest gains earlier in the day. It has shed more than 1.5% this week and is set for its biggest weekly drop in just over a month.

It has been hurt by Tuesday’s ruling from Germany’s highest court that gave the ECB three months to justify purchases under its bond-buying programme or lose the Bundesbank’s participation in one of its main stimulus schemes. court ruling has opened up a lot more uncertainty over the continuation of the ECB’s asset purchase programme, which has been a key pillar of support for the economy and financial markets,” said Lee Hardman, a currency strategist at MUFG.

“Given a lack of action from governments, the ECB has been the main game in town.”
