EUR/GBP extends gains
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/GBP pair extended gains to hit a fresh session high of 0.7425 as the British Pound continues to weaken in anticipation of negative inflation data due for release tomorrow.
Gains capped by Greek debt issue
The shared currency managed to strengthen against the British Pound as market price-in an expected fall of 0.8% in UK CPI in January. The data is due for release tomorrow and may show cost of living fell below zero levels in January. Meanwhile, a sharp rise in the Eurozone trade surplus also helped the shared currency strengthen.
However, broader gains have been capped due to uncertainty surrounding the Greek debt issue. The markets expect the Eurogroup to reach a short-term fix, however, caution still persist, which has capped gains in the pair.
EUR/GBP Technical Levels
The pair currently trades at 0.7415. The immediate resistance is seen at 0.7425 and 0.7446 levels. On the flip side, a break below 0.7411 could push the pair down to 0.7390 levels.
