"Because foreign central banks responded appropriately by providing additional
monetary accommodation, foreign interest rates have declined relative to U.S. interest rates,
encouraging investors to shift into dollar-denominated assets and in turn boosting the dollar. "

so the ECB went down an additional 0.2% so this caused EUR balance holders to offer their EUR balances to USD balance holders at 15% less than before the rate reduction?

So they didnt want to give up the 0.2% so they gave up 15% instead?

So EUR/USD is trading at 1.30 then ECB knocks off an additional 0.2% so the EZ people quickly drop their offer for EUR balances in USD terms down to $1.14?
