Analysis and Recommendations:
The EUR/GBP is trading at 0.7874 as it continues to decline on the weakness of the euro. Markets began to stress over the German court’s decision in regards to the ESM. After a 10 hour hearing, it is expected that the courts will delay a ruling. The Eurogroup also released the terms for the Spanish bank bailout; all of this could be moot if Germany’s Constitutional Court decides to grant a 6-month injunction that postpones German participation in the ESM. The German parliament approved the ESM in June, but the legislation has been challenged by a group including a former justice minister demanding ‘more democracy’, and the challenge is now before the court. The court began hearing testimony yesterday.
News flow will affect this currency pair over the next part of the day and early tomorrow as markets await a ruling from the courts.
