Summary: Heavy selling around the shared currency dragged the EUR/GBP cross lower. The centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) registered a narrow victory over incumbent Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party in a closely contested German election on Sunday.
On the other side, upbeat market mood and last week's BOE hawkishness keeps the pound buoyed. That said, Brexit-related shortages of petrol in the UK could weigh on the Sterling, keeping downside in the pair limited.
EUR/GBP has been capped at 21-week EMA from many weeks. Technicals have turned bearish with scope for further downside. Test of trendline support at 0.86 likely.
