EUR/GBP turns a blind towards German data

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/GBP hardly batted an eye to a dismal German manufacturing figure after having spiked more than 100-pips in the previous session.

Comatose above key fib level

The cross continued to remain comatose above 0.7148 (23.6% of Oct 13 high-Nov 5 low). The German industrial production contracted 1.1% in September, the data released today showed. However, till now we have not seen any response from the EUR/GBP cross.

The surprisingly dovish BOE event on Thursday triggered a sell-off in Sterling, which led to a jump in the EUR/GBP pair. The immediate focus is now on the UK industrial production and trade balance figure.
