EUR/GBP hangs in place, consolidating ahead of London, ECB meeting

• EUR/GBP halts yesterday's decline, consolidates near 0.8870.
• ECB Non-monetary Policy Meeting today, will be discussing Brexit.

EUR/GBP has middled through Asia, consolidating around 0.8870 through the Tokyo session. The pair has gained in recent trading days, as the GBP appears to be the biggest risk loser out of the basket of major currencies, giving up ground to its traded pairs as risk aversion drove markets to seek safer assets recently. EUR has been recalcitrant to give back any more gains following yesterday's drop during the London-NY overlap, suggesting plenty of buyers are lurking nearby, ready to send the pair further up the charts.

The ECB will be meeting in Frankfurt today at 08:00 GMT for their Non-Monetary Policy Meeting,  where they will be discussing TEU Article 50 matters with Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier regarding Brexit details.

If risk appetite returns in a big way, GBP may find itself coming back strong, but with inflation fears sparking higher bond yields and equities feeling the pain around the globe, risk assets continue to find themselves in a strenuous position.
