UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson submitted his resignation this morning as well as several cabinet members. Both the pound and the equities market flew higher in response to this drastic change. Heavy uncertainty resides in these markets still, and bleakness on England's economy continues to put pressure on the pound.
Boris Johnson's leave may dullen the sentiment on the pound further down the road as the rampant inflationary conditions caused by quantitative easing policies are taking its toll on the currency. Higher borrowing costs were meant to help quell that issue, but CPI refuses to yield.
The former Prime Minister arguably couldn't have left at a worse time monetarily-wise, especially as monthly GDP numbers continue to come in lower and lower since the beginning of 2022. If this trend continues, the pound's performance will likely get worse during the third quarter.
UK's services sector took another dip this month after PMI data fell to a two year low. The services sector makes up of 72% of England's output, so a further decline will keep hurting overall growth.

EURGBP came down hard today as price enters a clean support zone. The pair was in a steady uptrend while this retracement looks like it could be a buy setup on the 1D timeframe. Price came down into the 61.8% fib level paired with a support level around the 0.84500s.
This pair might see some bullishness in the short run after bouncing from previous support and forming a double bottom on the 4H timeframe. A move higher to resistance on the falling trend line could be a short setup on this pair since the overall trend is still downward. A break under the double bottom could mean another drop towards 2013 lows in the 1.5200s.
GDP numbers came in lower than expected in the US, marking the third straight drop in economic output.
