EUR/GBP little changed post-PMI

The European cross remains close to yesterday’s closing levels after the significant Services PMI in the UK economy has missed expectations during last month, coming in at 55.5 vs. 55.6 expected and November’s 55.9.

Previously in the euro region, German and EMU’s Services PMI have come in on the stronger side ahead of the key FOMC minutes due later in the NA session.

EUR/GBP levels to consider

On the flip side, a breach of 0.7299 (61.8% Fibo of 0.7496-0.6979) would expose 0.7256 (100-day sma) and then 0.7188 (55-day sma).
