In economic news, UK’s BBA mortgage approvals advanced to a level of 42.65K in June, undershooting market expectations for a rise to a level of 42.70K. The mortgage approvals had recorded a revised reading of 42.41K in the previous month.

The pair is expected to find support at 1.2430, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 1.2381. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 1.2525, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 1.2571.

Amid lack of economic releases in UK today, traders would focus on global macroeconomic events for further direction.
