EUR/GBP rises as markets gear up for a hike on Thursday by the ECB
Abstract：On Wednesday, the EUR/GBP closed above 0.8600, and the EUR gained ground over the GBP as investors are preparing an announcement of a 25 basis point (bps) hike by the European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday.
• EUR/GBP closed above 0.8600 and saw 0.20% gains.
• A Reuters report indicated that the ECB will hike on Thursday on higher-than-expected inflation forecasts.
On Wednesday, the EUR/GBP closed above 0.8600, and the EUR gained ground over the GBP as investors are preparing an announcement of a 25 basis point (bps) hike by the European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday.
In line with that, Reuters reported that the European Central Bank (ECB) foresees eurozone inflation remaining above 3% next year, exceeding the previous 2% projections, which would justify a tenth consecutive interest rate hike at its upcoming meeting on Thursday. In the meantime, market expectations are divided between the bank maintaining current rates and a 25 basis point increase due to concerns about high inflation and looming recession fears.
Despite this projection strengthening the case for a hike, analysts still believe that the decision will be a close call.
EUR/GBP Levels to watch
The daily chart analysis indicates a neutral to bullish outlook for EUR/GBP, as the bulls show signs of resurgence but still face challenges ahead. Having turned flat in positive territory, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a potential market equilibrium with balanced buying and selling pressure, while the Moving Average Convergence (MACD) histogram exhibits increasing green bars. Furthermore, the pair is above the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) but below the 100 and 200-day SMAs, indicating that the bulls aren't done yet and that the outlook is still positive for the short term.

I Track 27 Pairs, He Trades Only 4 - And the People Who Lose Are Usually in Between
If you open a random forex beginner’s trading platform, the screen will almost certainly show just one chart: EURUSD (the euro against the US dollar). It is nearly everyone’s default starting point - the most heavily traded pair in the world, with tight spreads and endless tutorials. Choosing it as your first pair is not a mistake. But the surprising part comes from a different scene. When you ask a group of traders who have actually traded for several years - and survived - which pairs they trade, you get answers that differ wildly. Some watch only 4 pairs, with a list that does not change for years. Others track 27 or 28, fitting nearly every major and cross pair into their system.
The 7 Lowest-Spread Forex Brokers for Indian & Pakistani Traders in 2026 (Tested, Ranked & Reality)
Spreads. The single forex cost that quietly eats into every trade you place, every single day, regardless of whether you win or lose. For active traders in India and Pakistan — where most retail traders run on tight margins and bigger position sizes — the difference between a 0.6-pip spread and a 1.6-pip spread can be the difference between a profitable month and a losing one. But here is what most "best spreads" articles will not tell you: a broker advertising 0.0-pip spreads is almost meaningless if they slip your orders by 5 pips during news, freeze your withdrawals, or appear on the RBI Alert List. Real-world spread cost is only one part of the equation. Real-world total cost — including commission, slippage, execution quality, and regulatory protection — is what actually determines whether you keep your profits. This is WikiFX's 2026 ranking of the lowest-spread brokers serving South Asian retail traders, factoring in not just headline numbers but operational reality.
