FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The EURGBP has found itself in a recent pullback as the pair rescinded its earlier gains during European trading, falling 7 pips from the 0.8052 level and settling in the 0.8043/45 region in these moments. On the heels of some recent indicators out of Germany, the cross is trading near opening levels, notching a narrow advance of +0.02%.

In Germany, Markit Manufacturing PMI has reported a figure of 46.8 in November, relative to consensus expectations of 46.0. Moreover, Markit Services PMI came in at 48.0 in the month of November, less than estimates of only 48.4.

According to Research Analyst Gareth Berry at UBS, we reiterate our neutral outlook on the EURGBP, and calculate that a break above 0.8087 would be an important bullish development, which opens the way towards 0.8169. Conversely, support lies at 0.8001, ahead of 0.7960.
