The Euro is pulling back from two-year highs near 0.8830 to test support at the 0.8800 area. The British Pound is coping better with the risk-averse environment and trimmed some losses following the upbeat UK Services PMI figure, while the upward revisions on the Eurozone Services data have failed to support the Euro.

UK Services PMI has been upwardly revised to a 52.3 reading in October from 50.80 in September, beyond previous estimations of a 51.10 reading. In thee Eurozone, the HCOB Services PMI revealed an improvement to 53.0 in October, from 51.3 in September, surpassing the preliminary estimate of 52.6.

The Pound dropped across the board on Tuesday, diving to fresh two-year lows against the Euro, as the UK Finance Minister, Rachel Reeves, hinted at sizeable tax rises to repair Britain's strained finances at the upcoming Budget.
