EUR/GBP clinches 0.7170
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The buying interest has returned to the risk-associated universe on Thursday, lifting EUR/GBP to daily highs near 0.7170.
EUR/GBP firmer despite PMIs
The upside in the cross is now gathering traction in spite of the softer than expected flash PMI prints in Germany and mixed results in the euro area. In addition, the greenback has now reverted the initial positive start, allowing the current rebound in its G10 rivals and bolstering the upside as a consequence.
Next of relevance in the cross will be April’s retail sales in the UK (0.4% MoM exp.) followed by the ECB Accounts and the speech by President M.Draghi.
EUR/GBP key levels
The cross is now up 0.16% at 0.7156 with the next hurdle at 0.7187 (high May 20) ahead of 0.7199 (10-d MA) and finally 0.7232 (high May 19). On the downside, a break below 0.7127 (low May 20) would aim for 0.7123 (low May 13) and then 0.7118 (low Apr.23).
