EUR/GBP falls to fresh session lows post German data
FXStreet (Mumbai) - EUR/GBP dived deeper in red during the European morning, in reaction to downbeat German PPI data which showed that annual producer prices continued to decline, falling for an 18th consecutive month in January.
EUR/GBP inches towards 7-year lows
The EUR/GBP pair trades -0.26% lower at fresh session lows of 0.7356 levels. EUR/GBP inched lower largely on the euro weakness across the board after downbeat German factory gate prices which showed that annual Producer Price Index (PPI) in Germany declined 2.2% in January, extending the decrease of 1.7% posted in December. Market consensus had bet on a 2.0% drop. On the other hand, the pound trades flat versus the US dollar ahead of UK retail sales data.
Meanwhile, a generalized weakness in the EUR/GBP cross may remain ahead of Euro group meeting and UK retail volumes numbers due later in the day.
EUR/GBP Levels to consider
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 0.7371 and above which it could extend gains to at 0.7400 levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 0.7335 and below that at 0.7300 levels.
