EUR/GBP bounces off 0.7120

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - EUR/GBP is now regaining the 0.7160 area after posting intraday troughs in the 0.7120 area.

EUR/GBP weaker on mixed euro and pound

The disappointing preliminary results from the GDP figures in both Germany and the euro area during the first quarter dragged the European cross lower, although a subsequent dovish tone from the BoE’s Quarterly Inflation Report weighed on the pound and sparked the current rebound to the 0.7160.65 band.

Ahead in the session, the ECB will publish its Monetary Policy Meetings Accounts, although the consensus amongst traders expects no major surprises.
