Home Daily Commentaries GBP reaching new high against EUR

The pound reached a new high against the euro, with markets favouring potential rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB) while maintaining stability in response to the Bank of England’s (BoE) policy trajectory.

The pound saw a modest uptick against the dollar, following its most substantial monthly gain in a year. This surge was attributed to increased pressure on the U.S. currency amid rising speculations that the Federal Reserve might implement rate cuts sooner than several other central banks.
