EUR/GBP touched 0.7979, and turned around
FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/GBP opened the day at 0.7970, tried to rise reaching 0.7979, but turned around, and slid to 0.7963 by the moment.
Trick or retreat?
EUR/GBP neared 0.80 area on Friday, but we didn’t see any attempts to break above, as Monday brought the moderate correction lower in expectation of key reports out of the EMU and the UK. The first to focus on is the German ZEW report. Given the long-term trend of the indicator missing the forecasts, the chances to see another weak number are quite high, and in this scenario the move lower may gather the pace. The initial target to the downside may lie at 0.7952.
