EUR/GBP: drops in dollar rally and post ECB
EUR/GBP is trading with a bearish bias in the sell-off post ECB and with the broad-based dollar rally from 0.8495 highs down to 0.8453 post ECB lows so far.
The event of the day was with the ECB who decided to postpone and action with the stimulus programme unchanged. There was a marginal downward revisions to GDP and inflation forecasts though that have weighed on the euro due to Draghi explaining that inflation will undershoot the ECB's target for the foreseeable future with a rate cut further into negative territory being left on the cards.
