Bid tone weakens as Euro Stoxx 50 drops
The GBP bulls lack intent to push the pair over and above 1.56 levels as the risk aversion in the financial markets is perceived as a hindrance to Bank of England rate hike as well. Moreover, the Fed’s decision to turn dovish has not been well received by the financial markets.
The Euro Stoxx 50 futures currently trade almost 1.5%. Consequently, risk assets, including Sterling are having a tough time advancing in Europe.
