Analysis and Recommendations:
The EUR/GBP is trading at 0.7948 its lowest in three weeks, dragged down before Spain presents its 2013 budget and by uncertainty over whether the country will request a bailout.
Data showing the UK economy shrank by slightly less than previously thought in the second quarter also helped the pound, as well as talk that EU farm subsidy payment to the UK due this week will lift sterling against the euro.
The euro fell around 0.5 percent to 79.245 pence, marking its weakest since September 6.
