The EUR/GBP cross comes under heavy selling pressure on Thursday and for now, seems to have snapped a three-day winning streak to the 0.8560 area, or the weekly top touched the previous day.

EUR/GBP stalls a three-day-old uptrend in reaction to dovish remarks by ECB’s Stournaras. Delayed BoE rate cut bets underpin the GBP and further contribute to the intraday decline. Investors will keep a close eye on comments by other ECB officials for short-term impetus. Spot prices drop to the 0.8535 region, or the fresh daily low during the first half of the European session and remain well within the striking distance of the monthly trough touched earlier this week.

The bets were reaffirmed by the monthly UK GDP print on Wednesday, which showed that the economy returned to growth in January after entering a shallow recession in the second half of 2023. This, in turn, is seen as another factor that contributes to the heavily offered tone surrounding the EUR/GBP cross. Moving ahead, there isn't any relevant market-moving economic data due for release on Thursday, either from the Eurozone or the UK.
