 | Aug 15, 2013 05:53AM ET

Finally the Eurozone after a year of negative GDP growth figures has seen some positive growth for the latest quarter. In particular the flash GDP growth for the previous quarter was out 0.3% beating the estimates and previous figures. Nevertheless EURUSD is trading almost unchanged for the day at 1.3260. The gains are limited due to a strengthening greenback as a result of rising US yields. The GBP is lifted today as a result of better than expected claimant count change in unemployment and no surprises from the Bank of England. GBPUSD up 0.40% at 1.5510 currently.
