EUR/GBP eases-off 0.7374

Currently, the EUR/GBP pair trades 0.12% higher at 0.7347, spiking to 0.7374 session highs in the European morning. The EUR/GBP cross shed early gains and now hovers near the mid-point of 0.73 barrier awaiting fresh incentives from Draghi’s comments on the EUR level and the persistent low inflation levels.

Moreover, the euro remains supported against the pound on the back of upbeat German and Euro zone PMI reading while awful UK services PMI reports continues to weigh on the British currency.

UK services PMI came in at 55.6 points in August, following the 57.4 seen previously. That’s the lowest print since May 2013. Market consensus had bet on a reading of 57.7.
