EUR/GBP posted modest gains near 0.8550 during early European trading on Tuesday. The British pound attracted sellers against the euro following the latest UK employment data.

The disappointing UK labour market report kept sterling on the defensive, while the euro held its advance ahead of upcoming sentiment surveys.

Traders were bracing for the ZEW Survey from Germany and the Eurozone later in the session, which could provide further direction for the pair.
