Analysis and Recommendations: The EUR/GBP is flat along with most other currencies at 0.7295 with little to no data and nothing to cling to in the
The EUR/GBP is flat along with most other currencies at 0.7295 with little to no data and nothing to cling to in the headlines. The pair is expected to remain flat through the holidays. Oil has slipped below levels last seen during the 2008 global financial crisis after OPEC effectively abandoned output limits at a Dec. 4 meeting and the U.S. passed legislation to lift a 40-year ban on crude exports. While the Federal Reserve’s rate increase removed a measure of uncertainty on financial markets, investors are still concerned that global growth remains vulnerable. Spain’s weekend election left Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy with limited options to forge a governing majority, threatening a period of instability.
