EUR/GBP: 55 pips lower, back off the highs as sterling rebounds back to 1.2200

Currently, EUR/GBP is trading at 0.8933, up 0.46% on the day, having posted a daily high at 0.8984 and low at 0.8889.

EUR/GBP is a strong bid today with weakness in the pound pressing to fresh lows besides the 'flash crash that some EBS services reported as low as on the 1.11 handle against the greenback. For today, that low is 1.2082 so far. 

Initially, the move lower in the pound was driven by the demand for the USD after US house prices measured by the S&P/Case-Shiller index expanded at an annualized 5.1% during September, beating the initial forecasts.

Meanwhile, for the cross, we have been listening to both BoE Carney who testified at the House of Lords in respect to Brexit, as well as Mario Draghi who was speaking in Berlin. Markets were looking for a dovish announcement from Carney given the prior drop in the pound, however instead we got more clues on the BoE's outlook for the Fed than its own monetary policy.  Meanwhie, Draghi says that Monetay policy isn't creating sovereign spending moral hazard, so that's alright then, adding, "We will exit our policies when we've hit inflation targets," and the EUR/USD consolidates at highs.
