EUR/GBP Turns Positive as GBP Sell-Off Gathers Pace
EUR/GBP turned positive to clock a session high of 0.7984 as Cable sell-off gathered pace on talks of rise in BOE rate hike bets.
Gains capped by risk-on in equities
Cable
is now testing bids around 1.42 levels as markets now see a 33%
probability of BOE reducing rates in H1 2016 as opposed to 10%
probability seen in February. BOE rate decision is due tomorrow and
markets are positioning for a possible dovish talk ahead of June
referendum.
However, gains are hard to come since EUR/USD is
feeling the heat of a sharp rally in the European stocks. Consequently,
the pair is now trading marginally higher around 0.7978 levels.
EUR/GBP Technical Levels
The
immediate hurdle is noted at 0.80, above which the cross could target
0.8028 (previous day’s high). A violation there would expose 0.81
handle. On the other hand, a break below 0.7961 (previous day’s low)
could see the pair test support at 0.7946 (Mar 24 high) and 0.79 handle.
