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.
