Coming up today:
• Today we have ECB president Draghi speaking at 10.30. • At 13.30 we have US core durable goods and unemployment claims released at the same time. • Pending home sales are released at 15.00.
Bet Idea: • It says something about the weakness of the British pound, that it is under performing the euro throughout the current crisis.
• The EUR/GBP has been in a down trend throughout July, but this has been reversing in the last couple of days. While the outlook for the euro is bleak, Britain’s economy is no bed of roses either. Even if the euro continues to fall, there is still a chance of it falling faster than the British pound.

A good way to play this might be a HIGHER trade predicting that the EUR/GBP closes above 0.7875 in 7 days time for a potential return of 156%.
