FXStreet (Mumbai) – The EUR/GBP clocked a fresh session high of 0.7026 after the German unemployment rate for November was reported lower at 6.3% from Sep’s 6.4%.
Awaits UK PMI
The shared currency was buoyed by an upward revision of the German manufacturing PMI and by the drop in the jobless rate. But, the cable clocked a fresh high of 1.5125 ahead of the UK PMI report, which pushed the EUR/GBP cross back to 0.7020 levels.
The focus now is on the UK manufacturing PMI data, which is expected to show the pace of expansion in the activity slowed down in November.
