EUR/GBP eyes March lows
The euro failed to hold in positive territory against the pound and turned negative moving closer to March lows. EUR/GBP peaked during the European session at 0.7749 and then bounced to the downside.
It broke below 0.7722 (Asian session lows) and recently bottomed at 0.7713, the lowest level since last Thursday. It remains near the bottom, holding a bearish tone for the day and eying March lows that are located around 0.7690.
Between ECB and Brexit
The pair continues to correct lower after reaching in February 0.7929. From there it has fallen more than 200 pips. EUR/GBP rallied toward 0.8000 amid a weak pound in the market on Brexit. The rally lost strength before 0.8000 and now is correcting.
Currently the euro is weak in the market ahead of Thursday’s European Central Bank meeting. In the United Kingdom the most relevant data will be industrial production on Wednesday and inflation expectations on Friday.
