Eurozone Inflation Boosts Euro Briefly, EURGBP Still Bearish

EURGBP showed a minor pullback due to upbeat Eurozone CPI data. Intraday  bias  remains bearish as long as resistance 0.8650 holds. It hits an  low of 0.84791 and is currently trading around 0.85256.

Eurozone inflation for April 2025 was better than expected as the headline CPI equaled that of March at 2.2% and core inflation at 2.7%, both higher than predicted. This was because rises in services inflation (3.9%) and food, beverages, and tobacco (3.0%) canceled out the deeper decline in energy prices (-3.5%). The ongoing strength in underlying price pressures, particularly in services, and the higher-than-expected core inflation reading could influence the policy of the European Central Bank in the future.
