At 05:45 UTC, GBP\/EUR trades +0.07% at \u20ac1.1660.<\/p>\n<p>The Pound rebounded towards the end of last week after Brexit tensions had dragged Sterling lower early on last week.

The central bank kept rates on hold, as expected. However, ECB President Christine Lagarde said it was still too early to discuss tapering bond purchases, which dragged on demand for the single currency.<\/p>\n<p>There is no high impacting Eurozone data due for release today. In fact, this week the Eurozone economic calendar is light with just inflation data towards the end of the week which could under pin the common currency.
