UK services activity increases beyond expectations
Eurozone’s November Services PMI data has been revised upwards, with all major country members registering better than expected levels than previously estimated. Business activity in the sector, however, has contracted for the fourth consecutive month which is not good news for the Euro.
In contrast,, the UK services sector activity expanded in November and has been revised to 50.9 from the previously estimated 50.5 from 49.5 in October, which has provided some support to the Pound.
The technical picture shows a bearish Euro with no clear sign of a trend change on sight. Next support is at 0.8550 and below here, 0.7500 and 0.8455.
On the upside, 0.8590 and 0.8620 are the nearest resistance levels.
