FXStreet (Mumbai) – The EUR/GBP was offered heavily after it fell below its hourly 200-MA then located at 0.7386. The pair fell to a one-week low of 0.7347 levels.
Eyes UK data
The immediate focus is on the UK data, which is expected to show the industrial activity rebounded in August. The sell-off in the EUR/GBP could be attributed to rise in the EU stocks, weak German data and M&A demand for Sterling.
Moreover, the EUR/GBP cross has been battling with the bears in the last five sessions to rise above 0.74 levels. An attempt was made earlier today to take out 0.74, but offers ensured the spot fell back below its hourly 200-MA.
