EUR/GBP keeps lows around 0.7130

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - EUR/GBP is shedding more ground on Tuesday, following the softer tone in both the sterling and the euro.

EUR/GBP in multi-year lows

The cross keeps trading in the low-0.7100s so far, levels last seen in December 2007. The weakness surrounding the common currency remains the main drag in the cross while the sterling remains quite resilient, supporting the downside.

The decline in the cross has picked up pace following the start of the ECB’s bond-buying programme on Monday, intensifying the selling pressure on the EUR.
