The EUR/GBP pair is fluctuating in a narrow range between 0.8366 and 0.8380 in the early Tokyo session. The asset saw a robust buying response on Friday after hitting a fresh three-month low of 0.8346 on Thursday. A buying response often indicates that traders perceived the asset as a value bet and built up sizeable long holdings. On the downside, the cross is displaying indications of fatigue, and a rebound is anticipated close to the round-number resistance level of 0.8400.

 

During today's session, investors will pay close attention to data on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Eurozone. The market believes that annual economic estimates may drop from 5.4 percent to 3.4 percent. While the quarterly GDP will drop from 0.6 percent in the prior report to 0.2 percent. The shared currency's bullish indication can be destroyed by a repetition of the same event.

 

Consumer attitudes are negatively impacted by growing fears of an energy catastrophe in the eurozone. Natural gas consumption will undoubtedly rise as Winter draws near, which is marked by a rise in energy demand. The eurozone administration is looking for candidates who can fulfill the region's high energy demand, but the search will take some time.

 

Investor focus will shift to the Bank of England's interest rate announcement on the British front (BOE). Interest rates are anticipated to climb further under Governor Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England given that the inflation rate has reached 9.4% and doesn't appear to be nearing its peak. Pricing pressures in the UK are constantly increasing and may soon hit double digits.
