EUR/GBP posts first daily close below 0.8000 in 20 months

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The EUR/GBP dropped for the eighth trading day in a row and posted the lowest daily close since November 2012, below 0.8000. A weak Euro post-ECB and a soaring Pound, boosted by Carney speech, pushed the pair sharply to the downside.

During Friday broke below 0.8000 and tumbled to 0.7970. The EUR/GBP finished the week trading around 0.7980, 140-pips below the price it had seven days ago.
