EUR/GBP: Attempting a recovery after UK data

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/GBP is attempting a recovery on the back of a dismal UK GDP print, although the better-than-expected current account deficit figure is keeping the GBP bid.

Hovers around 23.6% Fibo level

The cross trades around 0.7360 (23.6% of 0.6931-0.7493) levels; largely unchanged after the release of the UK economic data. The better-than-expected UK current account deficit was a surprise for the markets and thus overshadowed over the downward revision of the UK Q3 GDP.

Meanwhile, the rally in the European stocks is keeping the offered tone on the EUR intact.

EUR/GBP Technical Levels

The immediate support is seen at 0.7335 (Oct 7 low), under which the pair could drop to 0.7304 (Oct 196 low). On the other hand, the pair could revisit 0.74-0.7416 (previous day’s high) if it manages to sustain above 0.7360 (23.6% of 0.6931-0.7493).

UK Q3 GDP revised downwards to 0.4 per cent

The third estimate of UK’s third quarter GDP was released today by the ONS. UK GDP in volume terms dipped to 0.4% between Quarter 2 2015 and Quarter 3 (July to Sept) 2015, down from the 0.5 per cent growth recorded at the second estimate. The figure is also below the preliminary estimate of GDP published on 27 October 2015. Year on year, the GDP was recorded at 2.1 per cent, down from 2.3 per cent registered previously and below consensus.
