Waiting for Trade Data
The pair as we expected took the yesterday’s ECB meeting as the key for movements, and reacted to the news through EUR/GBP direction. The initial attempt of the cross to break above 0.7950, put the pound under pressure. And even the following slide to 0.7930 didn’t help GBP/USD to recover all the losses.
