    What we think

    With very little in the economic calendar for today we're expecting an overall quiet day.

    So far, we are seeing a marginally weaker GBP across the board with GBPEUR and GBPUSD off their recent respective highs.

    EURUSD is having another attempt at its August peaks - getting there could pave the way to the impressive highs of July 2023.
