Pound to Euro has hit new highs for 2023
Pound jumps to new 5-month highs.
This follows on from last week’s higher-than-expected UK inflation and retail sales figures.
Put simply, it increases pressure on the Bank of England (BoE) to keep hiking interest rates.
The GBP/EUR rate has gained 1.5% in the last month alone!
But it’s not all plain sailing for the Pound.
The Pound to USD rate has been trending down throughout May – falling 1.4% in the last month.
And that’s despite the US debt ceiling drama (which has been holding back the Dollar).
It’s a sign that the medium-term uptrend in GBP/USD may have come to an end and a retreat is now underway.
As you can see, there’s some pretty big moves happening in currency markets.
