Sterling recovery vs Euro is on the cards

25th April 2018

Short term outlook over the next few days could well be positive for the pound...

Morgan Stanley predicts the short term outlook for the pound is positive and cite tomorrow’s European Central Bank (ECB) meeting as facilitating a move. Tomorrow the ECB announce results of their recent policy meeting where they are expected to cite concerns about the growth outlook and might be less tolerant of a strong Euro. Markets will buy and sell euros on the tone struck by ECB president Draghi so watch closely. EUR looks vulnerable and thus GBP/ EUR could be expected to trade higher. This coupled with growing sentiment that Bank of England Governor Carney hasn’t completely ruled out a rate rise in May should ultimately support the Pound. Today’s rates:

GBP/EUR 1.135
EUR/GBP 0.865
