Overnight data indicated that UK’s GfK consumer confidence index eased more-than-expected to a level of -12.0 in July, a sign that heightened political and economic uncertainty in the nation may be denting confidence in the economy. The index had recorded a reading of -10.0 in the previous month, while investors had expected for a fall to a level of -11.0.
The pair is expected to find support at 1.3040, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 1.2993. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 1.3147, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 1.3207.
Amid no economic releases in the UK today, investors will look forward to the Bank of England’s interest rate decision, scheduled next week.
