EUR/GBP rises above hourly100-SMA
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The <a href="http://www.fxstreet.com/technical-studies/currencies/eurgbp/">EUR/GBP pair rose above hourly 100-SMA located at 0.7468 levels after having breached the 5-DMA located at 0.7458 levels.
Pound hit by delay in rate hike expectations
The British Pound has weakened after the Bank of England governor said yesterday that the liftoff in the interest rates would be more gradual than earlier expected. Consequently, the UK 10-year yield declined 5.4 basis points to 1.408%, thereby pushing the Pound lower across the board. On the other hand, the shared currency gained strength on the upbeat German unemployment data.
On Technical charts, the pair has also breached the falling channel resistance seen on the hourly chart currently located at 0.7474 levels.
