EUR/GBP climbing back after 80 pip drop

FXstreet.com (London) - EUR/GBP has printed a high of 0.8386 and currently up 0.05% vs a low of 0.8340, trading at 0.8381 at the time of writing.

EUR/GBP is climbing back on the bid currently after dropping 80 pips earlier in todays session on the back of poor data from the EZ. Research teams at TD Securities said, “Eurozone CPI slipped from 1.3% to 1.1% Y/Y in Sept, coming in below market expectations for 1.2%. So nothing here that would push the ECB away from its dovish stance on Wed”. For the UK, the teams explained, “ Mortgage approvals rose from 60.9K to 62.2K in Aug (mkt 61.5K), building on the 6m upward trend. The govt is expected to bring forward its Help to Buy Scheme, which should support housing activity further in the coming months/quarters”.
