Jun-10 11:03
The softer-than-expected UK data continues to weigh on sterling Tuesday, and the aforementioned EURUSD demand below 1.14 keeps EURGBP within close proximity of prior session highs at 0.8465.
While there was a big miss for the very volatile flash PAYE RTI payrolls number at -109k for May, UK wage data were all a bit softer than expected as well, including the key private regular AWE that was two tenths below consensus.
EURGBP currently stands 0.40% higher on the day, and in the process has breached a key short-term resistance at 0.8440, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of the average is required to highlight a stronger reversal, potentially exposing 0.8541, the May 02 high.
Dips below the 0.8400 handle have been well supported in recent months, and key support has been defined at 0.8356, the May 29 low. Clearance of this level would be required to resume the technical downtrend.
In the UK, immediate attention turns to Wednesday’s Spending Review, Thursday’s release of April GDP and the quarterly consumer BOE/Ipsos Inflation Attitudes Survey on Friday.
