  • EUR/GPB extends retreat from 4-month highs at 0.8957 hit on July 20th trade, slips for 4th straight session.
     
  • The single currency sold-off ahead of German  Ifo and all-important trade talks between the European Union (EU) President Juncker and the US President Trump.
     
  • While Trump called for a free trade deal with the EU late-Tuesday, EU urges for Trump to suspend tariffs in order to get a trade deal.
     
  • ECB policy decision due tomorrow is another major risk, with markets expecting a long period of inaction from the central bank.
     
  • Markets also brace for further downside as German Ifo surveys are likely to disappoint.
     
  • Momentum oscillators have rolled over from overbought levels and biased lower.
     
  • Next immediate bear target lies at 21-EMA at 0.8864. Break below will see further weakness.
