EUR/GBP lower following EMU data
The European cross continues to surrender gains today, fading the weekly spike to multi-week tops near 0.7460 (Tuesday) in response to the softer tone surrounding the euro.
Data wise in the UK economy, GDP figures came in below expectations for the second quarter, while EMU’s consumer prices have contracted 0.1% on a year to September, missing initial forecasts.
