However, the decline was caused by the resignation of Sabine Lautenschlaeger on late Wednesday. She resigned from the executive board of European Central Bank in the act of protest, against the decision of reviving quantitative easing and loose monetary policy by ECB's President Mario Draghi. 

The news caused Euro to hit a new low for this year against the dollar and made EUR/USD to move down further.

GBP/USD - CBI Realized Sales Ahead 

On Thursday, GBP/USD was opened at 1.23504 and is currently moving at 1.23243 after placing a high of 1.23800 and low of 1.23029.

GBP/USD showed mixed movement today as it has been moving in up and down throughout the day. On Wednesday, the pair dropped sharply due to U.S. Dollar strength.

However, on Thursday the GBP/USD toned-down its losses due to the votes given by M.P.s against granting a mini-recess for Conservative Party Conference. However, the economic reports issued by the U.S. with expected results made it difficult for GBP/USD to create an upward trend.

The release of whistleblower allegation on President Trump on Thursday also made U.S. Dollar weak and moved from GBP/USD up a little.

The downward movement of GBP/USD was mainly due to the rise of political anxiety in the U.K. Parliament. The resisting calls for the resignation of U.K.'s President, Boris Johnson, gave the potential for early general elections and put pressure on Sterling. The Pound is likely to remain under pressure until there are hopes for political certainty. 

On Friday, the U.K. consumer Confidence index is due to release, in case of failure to impress the market, we may see Sterling trading further bearish.

Under the ongoing Brexit uncertainty, the GBP/USD will remain biased to the downward trend. Even if the Consumer Confidence came positive, any political development could easily overshadow its effect due to the sensitivity of Sterling towards the events of Parliament.

However, on the other hand, on 17;30 GMT the U.S. Final GDP, came as expected 2.0% along with GDP Price index as 2.4%. The U.S. Goods Trade Balance -72.8B came higher than expected -73.3B. U.S. Unemployment Claims 213K also came slightly more than expected 210K. The only data which was not in favor of USD was the prelim Wholesale Inventories which came as 0.4% as compared to 0.1%. At 19:00 GMT, the U.S. Pending Home Sales came as 1.6% was in favor of U.S. Dollar. Investors almost ignored the U.S. data released on Thursday because all came as expected. 

The pair is showing signs of further downward trend because of persistent lack of development towards a Brexit deal settlement between E.U. & U.K. with a little over month time left for its Deadline.
