The Euro has given up daily gains against a buoyant British Pound, following stronger-than-expected UK Gross Domestic Product figures. The pair has pulled back from session highs near 0.8670 to approach the 0.8650 area, turning negative on the daily chart.

UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data revealed that the country's economy grew at a 0.3% pace in November, despite the uncertainty about the government’s budget, following a 0.1% contraction in October. November’s data beat the market’s consensus that had forecasted a softer 0.1% growth.

GDP data has been underpinned by generalised growth across most sectors. Manufacturing production accelerated to 2.1%, following a 0.4% growth in October, and the services sector grew at a 0.2% pace, from 0.1% in the previous month. Construction activity has been the exception with a 1.3% decline.

The Euro, on the other hand, remains vulnerable, leaving the pair unable to take off from the four-month lows at 0.8644, hit last week. shrug off
Later on Thursday, Eurostat will release Eurozone Industrial Production data, which are expected to have increased 0.5% in November, following a 0.8% increase in October. Year-on-year, factory output is expected to grow at a steady 2% rate. The Euro would need a significant surprise to shrug off its bearish momentum.
