EUR/GBP consolidates around 0.72 handle

By FXStreet FXStreet (Mumbai) – The EUR/GBP pair is trading in the sideways manner around 0.72 handle ahead of the US non-farm payrolls figure.

EUR has an upper hand over GBP

The EUR could turn out to be a major performer in case the NP prints horribly weak and triggers a major shift/drop in the December rate hike bets. After the ECB’s disappointment, the EUR bears are demoralized and thus doors are open for further unwinding of EUR shorts/fresh EUR longs.

Meanwhile, the GBP is heading on a relatively weak note; courtesy of dismal PMI numbers released earlier this week. At the moment, the EUR/GBP is trading around 0.7205 levels.
