EUR/GBP Slumps to Lows Near 0.7980
The now stronger tone around the sterling is dragging EUR/GBP to test session lows in the 0.7985/80 band.
EUR/GBP lower post-UK data
The
European cross has gathered further downside pressure today following
higher-than-expected CPI figures for the month of March, with headline
consumer prices advancing 0.5% on a yearly basis.
In the meantime, the risk-on sentiment continues to prevail amongst traders, benefiting GBP in detriment of EUR and sending the cross to 5-day troughs.
EUR/GBP key levels
The
European cross is now retreating 0.29% at 0.7986 and a breakdown of
0.7945 (20-day sma) would expose 0.7825 (low Mar.29) and then 0.7824
(55-day sma). On the flip side, the next up barrier lines up at 0.8119
(2016 high Apr.7) followed by 0.8349 (monthly high Feb.6 2014) and
finally 0.8401 (2014 high Mar.18).
