EUR/GBP flat ahead of Europe markets

• EUR/GBP in its patent Asia holding pattern.
• UK interest rates, US data balanced out, EUR/GBP middling.

EUR/GBP Is trading very tightly ahead of European markets, with the Asia session logging a high-low range of just 12 pips, with the pair trading around 0.8793 for the entirety of the Tokyo market thus far.

EUR/GBP went for a volatile ride yesterday after the pair dropped following the Bank of England (BoE)'s Super Thursday interest rate decision/monetary policy meeting event yesterday that saw the GBP gain against the Euro, only for the GBP to give it all right back after the US posted better-than-expected economic data that sent risk assets dropping, leaving EUR/GBP to finish the New York session down just 30 pips from where it started 24 hours previous.

The EU has GDP data for the 4th quarter of 2017 coming next Wednesday for Germany, Italy, and Portugal, as well as the broad Euro-region, and traders can expect a healthy dose of volatility if the figures come out better or worse than expected.
