What to see: Euro/British Pound
UK Prime Minister Jeremy Hunt is set to unveil the government’s latest financial plan today.
Rumor has it Hunt needs to raise at least £60bn and his office is looking at a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases to do so.
Attention will be focused on where and how much public funds will be cut, as well as the scope and schedule of tax increases and tax base suspensions.
Budget plans leading to lower economic growth could weigh the pound against the euro.
This is good news for the EUR/GBP bulls who are already eyeing the short-term range support at .8700 and the Stochastic oversold signal on the 1-time frame.
An anti-GBP theme could push EUR/GBP to the .8760 midrange level or the .8820 range resistance zone.
Meanwhile, a report in favor of the GBP could break the EUR/GBP out of its multi-week range.
Confidence in government plans could drag EUR/GBP to the .8650 inflection point, if not the .8600 area of interest.
Keep a close eye on EUR/GBP short-term levels and see if you can seize short-term opportunities!
