Recoveries Remain Limited, Support At Late Aug ’22 Lows Eyed

EURGBP

The UK labour market data-inspired bounce in EUR/GBP has been limited, with political uncertainty in France continuing to hamper the single currency and GBP weakness limited with UK wage growth still running at elevated levels.

  • The rate last trades at 0.8455, after bulls failed to overcome 0.8470 in the wake of the data.
  • A reminder that the pair closed below the 0.8500 mark for the first time since August ‘22 on Friday, with the aforementioned French political uncertainty providing further pressure on Monday.
  • A break of yesterday’s low (0.8440) would expose the Aug 24 ’22 low (0.8408).
  • We provided more colour on the recent weakness in EUR/GBP and broader EUR crosses on Monday.
