The Euro declined against the British Pound on Friday, with the EUR/GBP pair trading near the mid-0.8500s level just beneath 0.8570. This downward movement occurred despite the release of strong flash Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data for August from both the Eurozone and the United Kingdom. The economic data provided mutual support for both currencies, effectively neutralizing any single-sided fundamental driver from economic output figures.
