German yields decreased on Monday. The 10-year bond yield stands at 2.43%, showing a minor decline of 0.08%. The 2-year yield is at 2.90% with losses of 0.5%, while the 5-year yield is at 2.46% with limited losses of 0.08%. Conversely, British yields rose. The 10-year bond yield reached 4.37% with gains of 0.87%, the 2-year yield stands at 4.55% with gains of 1.35%, and the 5-year yield is at 4.34% with gains of 1.51%.
On Wednesday, Destatis will release inflation figures from Germany which are expected to have further decelerated in May. In that sense, the inflationary figures for the biggest economic block from the Eurozone may have an impact on the Euro against major currency counterparts.
Levels to watch
According to the daily chart, the EUR/GBP pair maintains a neutral-to-bearish outlook in the short term, as the bears have seemingly retreated while the market enters a phase of consolidation. However, technical indicators continue to show negativity, suggesting the potential for further downward movement.
In the event of a decline in the EUR/GBP exchange rate, immediate support levels are observed at the 0.8660 zone, followed by the yearly low at 0.8645 and 0.8600 level. On the other hand, upcoming resistance levels for EUR/GBP are anticipated at the 0.8700 level, followed by the zone at 0.8725 and the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.8750.
